Actually I had a lot of time right now at hand and I was trying to spend littile time more effectively ;). Anyway I checked that module. It uses the basic cron file. This job has to be run on multiple boxes and hence rather than depending upon the Cron tab functionality I wanted to implement (that is use some existing module :) ) to achieve this. I need which would take in time parameters and do the job for me.
Thanks for the quick reply though. Appreciate that. -----Original Message----- From: Wiggins d Anconia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:45 AM To: NandKishore.Sagi; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cron Tab Implementation > > Hi All , > > I want to implement the functionality of crontab in Perl.
