[UCIMC-Tech] heads-up on cron jobs on zeco

[Barry Isralewitz]

Hi,

   I plan to a small number (one to three)  of low-intensity cron jobs  
on my zeco account (user barryi privileges), once a day. At worst,  
might serially parse  200-1000 tiny (2 KB) files, and send around 0 -  
5 emails, once a day.   The parsed file count might not even grow that  
high, before this count grows to 50 or so, I'll likely soon replace  
the text file parse with an msql query to a tiny database, a  I've  
already tried a teensy test job (appends date to file) and works just  
fine.

  Thought I'd give y'all a heads up, don't want to get in the way of  
server activities.  If there's any time in the 12:30 am - 4 am range  
you'd prefer I run the job(s), let me know. (e.g. 'don't run at 12:05,  
when other stuff is running')

		Cheers,

		Barry
