scheduling a not cron safe job more then once
Last week I ran in to the problem that my svntag.sh script should run on the first of every month. Unfortunately my svntag.sh script misses all kind of PATH info so it will probably not run as a cronjob without modifications.
Being to lazy to check and fix the possible problems while running from cron, I came up with:
for i in {0..24}
do
echo svntag.sh | at -t $(date -j -v+${i}m 200712010407 +%Y%m%d%H%M)
done
Which works when using the zsh shell on FreeBSD.
