Re: Crontab entry from perl
I want to schedule a perl script in crontab using a CGI script. If i try to append in the file ie /var/spool/cron/username then apache user does not have rights to modify this. If i give root rights to apache then it could be very harmful . how can i make entry into cron from script. You could have the CGI write out a file in /tmp or other and then have a permenant root run cron or trivial dameon poll this file and add to a users crontab based on the contents. I don't see what this has to do with modperl though :) or roll your own cron: http://search.cpan.org/~roland/Schedule-Cron-0.9/Cron.pm --- Badai Aqrandista Cheepy (?) _ SEEK: Over 80,000 jobs across all industries at Australia's #1 job site. http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail
