   I would agree. Using Linux I use cron for all my timed BBBS events.   
      
   For a task to be run every 20 minutes I would simply use a crontab line as:   
      
   */20 * * * * //    
      
   You could for example use the cron line to run a backup of all your user   
   accounts at 5 a.m every week with:   
      
   0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/   
      
   I have a separate HD mounted as /backups where I backup/archive stuff.
