OK, I've reached my limit with being patient and trying to do it myself. I am trying to get a .pl script to run every 10 minutes. the script is executable, and if I type /usr/home/matt/dtdns.pl it will run just fine, and end (which it's supposed to do.) I made a crontab for my username (matt) as follows */10 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /usr/home/matt/dtdns.pl cron does see the item and run it (or so it thinks), but when I do a "ps ax" it shows it has been running for a while, and there are a few instances of it. All the PERL script does is update my IP with a Dynamic DNS host...is there something I'm missing? The proccesses that run are (for each 10 minutes): 548 Is /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/perl /usr/home/matt/dtdns.pl 550 R /usr/bin/perl /usr/home/matt/dtdns.pl Any help would be great! I've been racking my mind and every site I could think of.
