Hi,

I want to run Java application as service on Linux . The time interval between each execution should be configurable. What are the solutions
for this. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ravi

I recently used JDring class which does almost the same as cron does. You can find it with any search system.

Sounds like you're describing a daemon, not a service. Here are a couple of ways to run daemons:

Launch it from a boot-time startup script. The application starts up and is responsible for scheduling its own resting and active periods. In this case, the application keeps running, but spends most of its time quiescent (such as in calls to Thread.sleep())

Create a crontab entry that runs the application at regular intervals.
