cron a script
This has to be the ultimate newbie question...
I have a script that works well. To run it, I cut and paste it into a putty session.
Is there a way to put the script into a file and just run that file -- like a DOS batch file?
I'd like to schedule the file to run daily.
Thanks,
-dog

sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION

The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.

-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm

-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
