Hi Ashok.g,

Ok, your task can be programmed dynamicaly, but .. why don't you want to use cron (if you are in Unix wolrd)?

Two approaches:

  • Regenerate /var/spool/cron/user when you need, cron will reload in the next minute
  • Regenerate /etc/cron.d/yourtask when you need it, cron will reload it, and surely will be more readable and maybe easy to implement.

    • Of course where you write "a.pl 25" will be "*/25 * * * * /path/to/a.pl"

    So, if you are in Unix environment, why not cron ?

    Thanks
