Hi,
First off, thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some advice on the following script...
Basically, in the script below, I am printing text output to a file that I intend to use as a crontab.
As you can see, starting from the first "foreach" loop, I am running a set of Perl commands for each $listitem . Then, to finish off the loop, I print out CRON job text.
This is where I get lost: I want to assign each $listitem to its own CRON job that executes in increments of 5 minutes throughout the day, that is, starting from 0 0 * * *, one of my cron jobs should start. When the time reaches 55 0 * * *, the next CRON job should roll the hour over to 1, and begin in five minute intervals once again, ie: 0 1 * * *, 5 1 * * *, 10 1 * * *...
The problem I am having is this... When I run the script, instead of assigning one instance of $listitem to each time increment, the script assigns EVERY 5 increment to an instance of $listitem, THEN moves to the next $listitem and assigns every increment again... I've posted the script below and the output...
OUTPUT:
5 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/10 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/15 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/20 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/25 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/30 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/35 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/40 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/45 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/50 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/55 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/
## SHOULD HAVE ROLLED OVER TO HOUR 1 !!
