My main concern was that the script would die from SIGALARM. I'm testing on and XP box and using the script on a FreeBSD box. How can I get the cron function on my XP box?
Also I have to get admin permission for cron jobs. Which I don't think will be a problem. It's not important that the script be ran in exact time intervals. But it is important that I be able to kill the process if necessary, and that it not quit functioning in the middle of the night. So I guess cron is the best way. Thanks so much Tricia
