Create an auto-updating desktop image
Authored by: n9yty on Jul 14, '03 06:30:10PM

Rather than have a perl or even a shell script that is just sitting in limbo, why don't you use cron?

I'd create a cron entry (use CronniX if you'd like to make it easier) that just ran curl every five minutes. Or, if you want to go the extra step, have cron run your perl or shell script where you can do error checking / image recover / etc...
