Why don't you try to put the scripts into one single main script and put that main script into cron, for example. #!/bin/bash /path/to/script1 sleep 60s /path/to/script2 Hope this helps you.
Here's the situation, I have a script1 that I want to run and wait 60 second or so in order to have script2 startup and generate a PID in /var/run, then have script1 check for the existence of that PID and alert me if it's not there. My boss told me of a 'timer' command that would do this, but I"ve not seen any documentation on it through google and others. Is there some way to accomplish this as is or will I need to tweak my scripts? I know about the sleep command, but I don't think that would work in this instance as I don't really want script1 to run immediately. Does that make any sense at all? -- Ita erat quando hic adveni.
