For personal stuff, putting scripts in ~/bin/ is often appropriate. For *system* stuff, that'd normally be /bin/. For applications, something like /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/. If it's called from a cron script, it could be run from almost anywhere, so long as the cron script calls it by the full path. I'd expect their script to give you information about where to put it, if it needed putting somewhere in particular. I have something similar for the No-IP service. It's a script (run from /usr/local/bin/noip2) which you start running from somewhere (such as /etc/rc.local), and it periodically checks for changes to your IP, by itself. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
