The script run a command, wait one minute, then run the command again, wait one minute again ... again and again ...Sounds like a job for Cron!It depends on how long the job takes, and what the requirements are. They did seem to imply they want to wait 60 seconds between the end of one run to the start of the next one, as opposed to running every 60 seconds regardless.The OP says they want fixed-delay. Cron is for fixed-frequency. A script that schedules itself as an "at" job as it's last command is another way to handle fixed-delay.If the job takes 45 seconds, it could be a pretty substantial semantic difference.Yep.
