Thanks!

I came up with "a" solution (not the best) by using the at command several times.

at -f file 00:01

and so on.

Sincerely,
Erin

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
