schedule many jobs using cron
HI,
I need to schedule a no.of jobs using the cron facility.
I currently do two kinds of scheduling,one based on the database load(after the database is loaded the program will start) and the other is based on time.....(say 10.00a.m daily)
the problem is..........

When the database is loaded and the program gets scheduled at 10.am the other ksh (which sechedules at the specific time) is over written and the program doesn't start.
Again i need to manually start the cron............

how can i avoid this situation?
Please help...

You seem to be talking of two executable scripts. How are these two related? From what you describe, the two ksh scripts should run independently - one based on its pre-condition of a table load and the other on a timer in cron. Try to add more details on the scripts.
