I don't know a way around - maybe you are better off telling your boss so he can take care of that officially. Maybe it's just an entry to cron.deny|cron.allow.

Hi,

How can I run my script as a daemon process??

By using an infinite loop in a subshell () which is started as a background process (&). But that will require quite some signal and error checking to ensure a clean exit when requested and avoid the script going rampage on your system. Probably even more fugly than the repeated at calls.

Well you already have two suggestions of 1) running it as daemon 2) adding itself to "at" queue (man at).

Why don't you try one of these and post the code?

Hi, I don't really know how to use it as a daemon process or by using at and I am not sure about how to implement the logic behind it.
