Script should run continously

Hi

I have a small req.
I have a script called as abc.sh

I want to execute this script continously for every 1 minute even if i exit from the server
i.e., it should keeps on running for every one minute even if i logged off

Can any one send me the sample code or procedure to work
Infinite while loop will not work if i close

Cron can help i hope so but i dont know wht procedure i should follow
i dont have admin rights

hi, I have something on our boxes which I use to run scripts continously.

loopscript
=========
while true
do
/somepathto/abc.sh
sleep 60 <-------- seconds
done


and this will loop forever

write it to a file called loopscript

also put it another script in startup /etc/rc3.d/S99loopscript

chmod 755 /etc/rc3.d/S99loopscript

S99loopscript
============
nohup /pathto/loopscript &



So everytime you reboot system it will fire off S99loopscript which fires loopscript -- thats calls your abc.sh script every 60 seconds.

This kind of script is good if you have some special requirements that cannot run under a cronjob or you want it to be independant from cronjob
