Hi
I've always had a very helpful response from you experts out there and I hope that somebody will assist me now.
I'm trying to write a script that will kick off a monitoring job script at a prompted time, to repeat every so many prompted minutes, until a certain time, or for a prompted number of hours.
Because the parameters can vary,and the job is an ad hoc one, I don't want to use the crontab facility. I'm looking at "at", "repeat" and "sleep' but am having trouble loading all the variables into the script. I'm also sure there must be a less messy way.
Thanks in advance
