Subject: running a script repeatedly

Hi Erin,
I think a utility named "cron" can run a script
every hour.
At least on my Debian based computer, one can read
the documentation for creating a cron table by
doing
$ man 5 crontab
Ubuntu may have a more user friendly graphical
user interface to cron.
Thanks,
Kingsley
