that depends. do you mean you want to run a script just on behalf of the personal root user account, or as a system script with root privilege? there's a whole hierarchy for adding system-privileged scripts to the cron facility -- see /etc/crontab and the directories /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}. lots of choices. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
