type man cron cron is something which allows you to schedule all kinds of things. You'll find with linux sometimes to do certain tasks, it involves several programs. The theory, not that you care, is that you have a program which is really good at doing scheduling, another program which is good at playing streams, and another program which is really good at making 2 programs work together. Sometimes you may want to do this often enough you make a little program which contains those commands. Learning about the pipe written as (|) with out the parenthesis, and about man and bourneshell pronounced bornshell scripts will go a long way towards automation of current tasksIf you're not a programmer and don't want to learn don't worry, I'm sure one of us could code for a small fee. Sorry about the rant but I thought I'd give you a few pointers sinse you're new.
