Hi Chris, If the timing isn't important, is there anything to stop you writing the script with sleep 1 in it ~59 times and then running the script every minute in cron?That did occur to me too, I suspect it may be the most practical method.
That way, even if the script dies, you only have to wait at most a minute before it tries againYes.
Would inittab with respawn be a better way to start it. That way it would restart if it failed?
