When runnig the program written in C I compile that code using CC and
then to run it I have to type in ./a.out  ?  Why do I have to do it this
way why I can't execute the program like on my normal Unix Account just
by typing in the a.out ...????

One more question....I would like to run a specific program every 30
minutes is there a easy way to do this in FreeBsd OS?


Thanks

Marcin
