Hi Binand,

Thanks a lot for the hint. 

But how to run this from cron. I wrote a simple script for echoing 
a message. then i submitted this to cron using

crontab sudheer message

After that it created a file in /var/cron/tabs in my name. also this is
the log from /var/log/messages

"Jul  5 13:32:46 an crontab[532]: (sudheer) REPLACE (sudheer)"

But the script is not getting executed. I couldn't figure out what exactly
is happening.

please help

sudheer
