SCHED 10/29/80 SCHED NAME sched - a way to repetitively invoke a command SYNOPSIS sched [-r] [-t] "shell command" DESCRIPTION sched causes the command typed in quotes to be repetitively invoked. The defaults are to invoke the command once, and to wait 1 second before each invocation. This utility is quite nice for statistics gathering, since sched may be run in the background, with the diagnostic output being appended to some log file. For example: % sched -r360 -t10 "pip t.=[105,3]/tb; cat t >>tmp.log; rm t" would generate a log file of the disk space in use in the tools tmp directory, running every ten seconds for the next hour. The resulting log file could then be scanned to see how the disk usage fluctuates, edited so that the information could be input to a histogram utility, etc. FILES SEE ALSO DIAGNOSTICS AUTHORS Joe Sventek BUGS -1-
