Hi,
If your own machine runs 24x7 to run the remote script
every hour then that's fine. In case you don't have
such a setup there's another idea (no guarantees though).
Does the remote machine run a web server?
If so, you can host a cgi script that does all your stuff.
Then signup for some *free* site status probing service like
http://www.siteprobe.com/ to pull your cgi script every hour.
[It looks like siteprobe.com will only check your url every
1 hour and you will have to pay if you want to check more
often. You can find similar services if you search.]

I have an user account in a remote linux
server. I want to run a script once in 45 mins.
For this, I dont want to put in the login script
or write a program which runs continuously(or sleeps)
and executes the script once in 45 mins.
I dont have access(rights) to put in "crontab".
Also, I dont want to use "at" command because I dont want
to login and execute the script. But the server will be
running continuously.
Is there any way to do the above?.
OR
Is there any way to automatically telnet to a linux
server(with username and passwd) and executes the script
(put in login script) and logouts automatically.
I have heard of automated ftping, but not automated
telnetting.. any idea(s)?
Thaks and regards,
carti
