How to automatically run a script

[horse123]

Thank you all for my previous query about killing nonstpped processes.

Now I have a script with lines as follows:

ps -ef | grep cgiopac > cgio.ps
kill -9 `awk '$1==&quot;nobody&quot; && $3==1{print $2}' <cgio.ps`

How can I make it run automatically on the Unix server (AIX)? thanks in advance

Use cron:
Write and save your script as, say autokill.ksh
create an entry with crontab -e like :
00 08 * * * /mydir/autokill.ksh

Besides using cron job, you can do it like these:

cat yourscript.sh
#!/bin/ksh

#Kill processes every 5 mins
while :
do
ps -ef | grep cgiopac > cgio.ps
kill -9 `awk '$1==&quot;nobody&quot; && $3==1{print $2}' <cgio.ps`
sleep 300
done


Run it in background
nohup ./yourscript.sh &
