Sorry, didn't think it through (before anybody notices.). Remove the
thing that executes the script (the bit in backticks) and just have the
process start on a cron job.
Tired, apologies.

Hi,
you could write a handler for the signal alarm that starts a new process and
kills the current:
$SIG{ALRM} = {
`this-script`;
exit;
};
At the beginning of the script set the alarm to go off 24 hours later:
alarm(84600);
DISCLAIMER: haven't really thought it through and it's really hac

Why do you need to kill and restart it? Can't you just print the date at
mid
