Scheduling crontab using parameter from XML file

Hi,

I need to write script which will read a value from XML file and schedule crontab accordingly.

I have an XML file which has a key value structure where the entries is:
<Param Name="executionInterval" Value="600" />
600 means that the crontab should be scheduled to run every 600 sec.

So as I see there are 4 tasks:
1. Learn shell scripting! Smilie)
2. Retrieve the value from the XML.
3. Convert the value to crontab compatible.
4. Update the crontab config file accordingly.

Need your help...
Thanks,
Michael

XML::LibXML::Schema(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    XML::LibXML::Schema(3)

NAME
XML::LibXML::Schema - XML Schema Validation SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML; $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_file($url); $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( location => $filename_or_url ); $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( string => $xmlschemastring ); eval { $xmlschema->validate( $doc ); }; DESCRIPTION
The XML::LibXML::Schema class is a tiny frontend to libxml2's XML Schema implementation. Currently it supports only schema parsing and document validation. As of 2.6.32, libxml2 only supports decimal types up to 24 digits (the standard requires at least 18). METHODS
new $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( location => $filename_or_url ); $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( string => $xmlschemastring ); The constructor of XML::LibXML::Schema may get called with either one of two parameters. The parameter tells the class from which source it should generate a validation schema. It is important, that each schema only have a single source. The location parameter allows to parse a schema from the filesystem or a URL. The string parameter will parse the schema from the given XML string. Note that the constructor will die() if the schema does not meed the constraints of the XML Schema specification. validate eval { $xmlschema->validate( $doc ); }; This function allows to validate a (parsed) document against the given XML Schema. The argument of this function should be a XML::LibXML::Document object. If this function succeeds, it will return 0, otherwise it will die() and report the errors found. Because of this validate() should be always evaluated. AUTHORS
