Here is a crude shell script that should accomplish what you want. It is crude because it will break if you run it around midnight and does very limited parameter and no error checking. But if you pass it the time in the format HH:MM:SS followed by the command you want to run, it will start the command at the specified time. #!/bin/sh start=$1 shift if [ "$(date +%T)" < "$start" ]; then echo "It's already after $start" exit 1 fi while [ "$(date +%T)" != "$start" ]; do sleep 0.1s done echo "Starting command at $start" eval $* Alfred _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
