"cron" is a Unix utility for running commands in a scheduled manner. You configure the "job" for cron to run it every hour. This means that you never have to worry about the job running regularly because cron manages it. Scott Nipp Phone: (214) 858-1289 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web:

Very interesting... Running this script it dies at the 800MB attempt. However, watching this process in top, memory usage is actually double the amount that is being tested. In top, the last memory amount prior to it dying is 1400MB. Scott Nipp Phone: (214) 858-1289 E-mail: [EMAIL PRO

2003-12-04 Thread NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI)
I have been asked to get a 64bit version of Perl compiled and working under HP-UX 11i. I have found some helpful hints on actually compiling this successfully. The reason for the 64bit version is memory utilization. My users have a script that processes an Oracle database of about 15 mil

I have written a group of Perl scripts that collects data and transfers it to a specific server via ftp. These scripts work great. I also have a couple of scripts that parse the data on the server and populate this data into a database. Once again, these scripts are working great. What I
