Retutime

Hi guys, I was to use retutime or similar to run a command
every 5 minutes (or a
different amount of time). I've tried searching around but
all I seem to be able
to find is information telling me it's possible but not
actually how to do it.

Can anyone give me a hand and offer a sample command to say
run MyScript.sh
every 5 minutes?

Thanks,

Thanks for the respone Paul,

I've looked at cron but couldn't find how to install it on
the N800 as it isn't
there by default.

Is there a repository with it or would I need to build it
myself?

Just to keep track if anyone else is trying to do similar,
someone emailed me
with this suggestion:

You might want to take a look at the new alarm interface
available in 3.0 (N800).
