Hi Steven,

Further to my previous reply,

My script looks like this,

#!/usr/bin/ksh
date +"%T" >>/tmp/report
ps -eo "%x %C %t %g %u %P %p %n %z %c"|grep ldapdb2 >> /tmp/report

the cron entry should be,
0,15,30,45 0-2 * * * /tmp/cron.out 2>&1

in the above entry should it be 0-2 for 12pm to 2am or 0,12?


The above command runs successfully with no errors, however it just runs once as I need it to run every 15 minutes would it be okay to set a cron to run for every 15 minutes and that's that????

But user is asking that the "problem would be it might not occur for any given 15 minutes, I really need it every 15 minutes between midnight and 2 am., so I would need to set up a script to run from cron, to run the command below and sleep for 15 minutes etc".


if all the above is correct than I just need to configure a cron job and that's it? please advise, would it answer what the user is asking in the above paragraph?

Thanks for your help

sorry i need to setup cron to run 12midnight to 2am and not 12pm..just a correction
