Hi all,

I need to run a script (or command) in every 3 mins.
I am using "yes" command for this job as:

Code:

yes "date; sleep 180" | sh

However, I wanted to know is there some other alternative to this command, as it is not installed in my other Sun server.

I dont have acces to crontab.

Pls help.

Thanks in adv,
Vikas

Well I found an answer to my quest.

This works perfectly.

sleep 180
end
