I am interested in getting users experiences running a simple Java app. as a cron job on a Linux server. I am interested in hearing about any good or bad experiences or if doing this is a plain bad idea. I haven't touched Java in a number of years but it sounds like Java may be a good solution for the next project I work on. Actually I think Python would be ideal but I am trying to avoid bringing a 3rd language into our environment. Thanks for any info. Erick
