The simplest way to achieve automating the command would be a cron job. There is plenty of information available on how to work with the crontab options to add a cron job in Unix/Linux.

(Library) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 8:28 AM To: perl4lib@perl.org Subject: Email and perlscripts Greetings All, I recently inherited a server which crashed. On that server were several scripts used by a variety of people in my system. One of them was a script for turning a fund report into a webpage. It would work by having the Collection Development email a report to a user called fundlist. On arrival a script would run turning it into a webpage. I was able to move the script and get it to work fine. Unfortunately I can only do this manually by issuing a command like cat mbox | ./fundlist.pl I can't figure out how to automate this. Any ideas?
