Hello dearest Perl Monks!

I seek for your wisdom.

I have a perl script, that when executed it writes a FILE. The process is a bit longer, as the file is written by getting the data from another database and then comput together.

The thing is, that I need to run this script every morning, but often occurs that people add new things to the database, and then my file is not updated (I am writting an HTML file with PERL), until I update it manually.

So I seek for your wisdom, if you can tell me how to make my PERL script run automaticly, lets say, every 2 hours?

There are some topics about this talking about Daemon (yes I am using Linux), but most links didnt open.

BR, YouthMonk
