# ensure script executes next at 1:00am let _mintoone=(1440-($(date '+%H')*60+$(date '+%M')))+60 if [ $_mintoone -gt 1440 ] ; then let _mintoone=$_mintoone-1440 fi sleep $_mintoone'm'
However "info let" seems to say that it has a condensed version of if...then...., ie
expr ? expr : expr conditional expression
So I tried it in various forms ...
let $_mintoone -gt 1440:_mintoone=$_mintoone-1440
but none work. Am I reading the help screen correct ? If so how does the syntax work ?
The info on this help screen is a little light.
Many thanks Dave
PS bash is addictive ...
PPS I am not using cron since the script uses xmessage and executed via cron causes xhost access problems, just in case you were wondering ....
