You can write the sccript that your cronjob starts so that it keeps track of when it was last run and then either have cron run it often or add it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d to be run at startup. Then if the script was run sufficiently recently, just exit - maybe with an appropriate message/error code. ////jerry > > -- Jos > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
