Why use Tcl, when cron is better.

Code: Select all

 0,30 * * * *   /location/of/file/to/execute

ok I can crontab

This will run the script every 10 minutes 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/peter/ircstats/stats

I need to create a shell script file call stats and place it in /home/peter/ircstats

stats file

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting stats processing"
./ircstats eggdrop.log ircstats.cfg
echo "End prosessing

Then chrom u+x stats

Were have I gone wrong as I can't get it to work ?

thanks

Try put the full path of the file, like this: /home/peter/ircstats/ircstats eggdrop.log ircstats.cfg. Not shure of this anyway, I'm just guessing.

I would think you need to use the "cd" command to change directories within your script.
