RE: scheduler question - newbie script

[Stout, Joel R]

Depending on how long the job takes, this little script runs about every 10
seconds.  If you want to be more exact I think you'll have to fork.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use POSIX;

# Start the loop for the daemon....
while(1) {
        my(@now) = localtime();
        my($today) = POSIX::strftime( "%m/%d/%Y", @now);
        my($time) = POSIX::strftime( "%H:%M", @now);
        print "Running 10 second job | $today | $time\n"; 

        system ( 'perl newftp3.pl gep_card.xml' );   
        
        sleep 10;  # 10 second intervals                   
}

Subject: scheduler question


I have written a Perl script that needs to be executed every 10 seconds.
How would I go about doing this.  I am working with Perl on NT and using
scheduler and the lowest I can set it to is 1 minute.

Thank you in advance

Lance
