Hi,

I want to run a script everyday. I heard of cron. But the problem is
(1)It seems it needs root permission, which is impossible for me to get it, because the administrative people in the company will not give that to me.
(2)I have never used cron. Reading the tutorial found on the web seems it is not easy (for me).

I am wondering if there is any other ways to do it. It is just a simple script which needs to be run every day. I hate to do it by myself manually.

Thank you very much.

if you're using kde type "kcron" it's a gui for cron (Gnome probably has something similar). It doesn't need root permission Users don't use cron they use crontab
