One of the advantages of cron is it's restarted when the machine is restarted or when it crashes for whatever reason. Instead of trying to achieve the same with a cyclic thingy, I'd rather go with crontab.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Good point. I was mostly trying to point out that using a complicated solution like Docker is a bit much for such a simple problem. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]
