in thread cron with perl

Eventually both *nix and Windows, but just *nix at present, deploying a KDE-Konsole (for the user-useful extra things like 'Save History' etc).

And this seems to be definitely on the right track ..."as cron just doesn't work the way you'd like".

I will come back when Net::Server docs swallowed.

Huge thanks for the pointer.

    UPDATE

    Found a temporary OS-local solution under KDE using 'dcop' tool via shellscript wrapper call in a display-tweaked cron environment.

    Still to play with Net::Server, but more hopreful of a cross-platform solution in that direction.

    The discussion proved very useful. Thanks all.
