Sure, but you also need to start the loop and make sure it doesn't die. You could use a script like this to repeat a script and then wait:
#!/bin/sh
delay="$1" shift
"${@}"
at now + "$delay" <<EOF "$0" "$delay" "${@}" EOF
Run "repeat.sh 5m /path/to/whatever -args". The script will run that script and args, then schedule itself to run again in at. The script takes care of both running the job you specify and inserting itself into the system's scheduler.
That is clever... I will certainly retain that idea. I may also make something basic in php/mysql...
Thanks for the tip...
Can't wait to install Centos 6. I'll try rhel 6 beta 2 on my first two nodes I will reveice tomorrow to start playing with directory service and clustering.
