Re: Scheduling with Perl?

One crontab entry:

30 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23 * * * echo "run every odd half hour"
[download]

but I agree, 0-23/2 would look nicer in the crontab

or: `30 * * * * echo "run every half hour"` [download] And then verify that the hour is not % 2 to run every half hour in the script. `Psudocode: if (! $currenthour % 2) { dostuff; } else { exit 0; #oopsie it is an even hour just exit }` [download] -Waswas	[reply] [d/l] [select]
