Err...no such thing as "batch file" you'd have to use shell scripts, I'll see if I can dig up one of my old ones in a few minutes...what you need it for anyway? Maybe there's a better way...
Ok, found an old one, all it does is find empty files and put a header into them... #!/bin/bash for i in * do head --lines 1 <$i >/tmp/head.tmp mv /tmp/head.tmp $i done Last edited by Elmseeker : 13-Jan-2003 at 18:57.

Yes it's in a file, I expected that's what you wanted!
Make a file in your directory called crontab, it should contain the following: 0 0 * * * /path/to/file/to/execute & This will run the file every 24 hours at midnight server time...to change the time simply change one of the first 2 numbers, first is minutes, second is hours, use 24 hour time format...the *'s are for day of the month, month and day of the week in that order so you could set it to run say...fridays at midnight 5 0 * * 5 $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 Sunday is day 0 AND day 7 Enjoy! |
