Crontab

[Reber, Simon]

Instead of doing this,
Simply build a script that has a content as follow:

while [ true ]
	do
	script1.sh
	sleep 30
done

It's much simpler and you don't need to run it via cron every minute.
	But you still can control the script and the start/stop via
cron.

Cheers,
Simon
