[R-sig-Debian] running a script repeatedly

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Hi Erin,

I think a utility named "cron" can run a script
every hour.

At least on my Debian based computer, one can read
the documentation for creating a cron table by
doing

    $ man 5 crontab

Ubuntu may have a more user friendly graphical
user interface to cron.

Thanks,
Kingsley
