Hi Ron,
Nope, am not wanting to write a cron daemon. I think the response from baxy77bax is what am looking for unless you have another suggestion.
Initially, am looking at scheduling the several scripts to run via cron but then our UNIX SA suggested that daemon'izing it is better.
He doesn't suggest cron 'coz he said sometimes cron may not be running on some of the servers or the cron daemon itself may die which had happened in some occassions. I suppose the while (1) may be the trick, hopefully it does not become a rogue or runaway task or become defunct.
I've also found a Daemon.pm, not sure if that is useful in anyc case.
