Hi, How to do scripts if i want automated run the job by following system time? I want to do every day around 4.00pm and 6.00pm automatic send sms to mobile phone. Example single command send out sms: echo "update me please" | gnokii --sendsms mobile no (this is for 4.00pm) echo "send me the report" | gnokii --sendsms mobile no (this is for 6.00pm) I'm using fedora 10 and gnokii attached to phone... please guide me on this. Thanks.

I don't know anything about your cell phone commands, but the cron facility is one way of sending automated commands in Unix/Linux. Check out this article: http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/cr... It's untested, but to execute a shell script at 4 & 6 PM would be something like: 0 16,18 * * * /path/to/myscript Obviously, myscript contains your cell phone commands. Place the above line in a file and do this from the command line: crontab < afile and that sets your cron entry.

How about automated send email?
