Schedule the script through cron. you can also enable ssh/remsh access to all servers and send just one email for all five servers.

Cron cntry would look like follows.

0 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 * * * "your_scipt"

It sounds like you simply need a crontab entry to invoke your script on an hourly basis between 9am and 5pm:

00 9-17 * * 1-5 /your_script

Hi,
create a command file and call from cron:
00 9-17 * * * /whatever/command
The last line of the command script should be something like:
mail -s"Hourly update `date +%H:%M" boss-email < sar_e

while using cron as suggested above, remember that script will be executed outside your environment.
You may have to update your script to initialize PATH (or other env variable) variable or use full absolute path for any command used in your script.

Hi Wish,

You can use the following,

Crontab syntax :-
A crontab file has five fields for specifying day , date and time followed by the command to be run at that interval.
* * * * * command to be executed
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)

00 9-17 * * * /
