Could you put this into cron? Or create a bash script for this? That might be easier. #!/usr/bin/bash /$PATH/TO/pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname and then add it into your crontab? cron -e */5 * * * * root /$PATH/TO/pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname>> /var/log/pqact/pqact.log 2>&1; fi which would have it run every 5 minutes (obviously overkill, but edit it to what you'd like) And you could even do some neat stuff with emailing the results then /usr/bin/echo " $i is not working!"|/usr/bin/mailx -s "$i appears to be down!" your@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I dunno, maybe I'm off track and need a smack. Either way, I hope my bash-foo points you in the right direction. -Eric On 8/28/07, Gerry Creager <gerry.creager@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Steve Emmerson wrote: > > Hi Gilbert, > > > > Is it insufficient, inconvenient, or just hard to remember to execute > > the command > > > > pqact -vl - -q /dev/null pathname > > > > when you modify file "pathname"? > > Hard to remember.
