Shell Script Help!

[SeanStar]

Hello, I'm running a server on a dedicated Linux server from the command line.
I need a simple restarter to restart it every hour.

Will this work?

#!/bin/bash
while : ; do
killall java
java -Xmx192M server
sleep 3600

killall java
java -Xmx192M server
done

I tried using cron... But I have no real sense of it.. It seems easy, but can it be run in the background as daemon?

Sorry guys, but my brother is the one all about linux, I do use linux, but not much from the command line.

Thanks.

(I hope I don't look like a moron like others on this forums, Rofl.)

Meh - It doesn't seem to work in a one minute test, and my brother is sleeping -.-

[SeanStar]

Issue resolved - I'm such an idiot.

*Sigh* I just got here too. XD

[SeanStar]

Yep, I got crontabs to work with daemon... Rofl, it wasn't even hard, but I'm a moron with the shell command.

moreover... Please xplain about using CRON jobs.
