Touch
Authored by: Tom_H on Oct 29, '01 08:23:32PM

Wouldn't it be easier to make a cron job that just ran the touch command on a file on the drive? If the file gets moved or deleted, the touch file will just make a new one, so it would work without needing any other files.
Something like:
*/5<tab>*<tab>*<tab>*<tab>*<tab>[space]touch "My/File.txt"<enter>
