Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,
I have written a script which checks for the quota of the system and sends the mail to the user if quota increases a particular threshold.
I want that this scripts get automaticaaly executed ,whic h I believe can be done with the help of crontab.
I am unaware of how to use this crontab.
So,can anyone out here help me with this.
My script goes as :
remsh $HOST -l $TLG_RATER_USR_ID -n "quota -v" > fill4
size=`awk 'NR==3 {print $2}' fill4`

echo $size

a=370000
if [ $size -ge $a ] ; then
echo "quota is more ,kindly delete the unwanted files "| mailx -s URGENT: Low disk space -r abc@sd.com
else
echo " quota is lessss,u can continue"
fi

Thanks.

man crontab??? Go to Examples section.

Hey guys,

There is a problem.

I don't have the access for crontabs.

Could the automatic execution of the script can be done in any other way besides using crontab??

Thanks

Since this looks like something that the admins might think useful, why don't you ask them to add it for you?
If that fails, you could always try a really, really fugly "pseudo"-crontab by having your script add itself to the at queue whenever it's done...

If you do not have any kind of permission the last method is to run your script as a daemon process... but use it as a last measure..

Hi,

The problem is we don't have inhouse admins.

Our admin sit at some other place and they are not at all co-operative.

They won't provide us the crontab access and I was developing this script to cut down the load of work that is beared by us daily.

So,I was looking for a work around this...

So,can anyone help me??
