Hi,
I have an application on Microsoft Windows Client connecting to MySQL on Microsoft Windows Server which I am currently moving it to MySQL on Linux
My current application (on server) has a windows server to read the database based on interval and send email reminders.
What would be the alternative on Linux?

Windows Service-Like in Debian
Re: Windows Service-Like in Debian
Hi!
It depends on what the service is actually doing. If you simply want to get notified when an automated task occurs, you could set up a CRON job and have it send an email when it is finished:

Could you elaborate more on what specifically the service is doing?
Best,
Lev

Re: Windows Service-Like in Debian
it should just do a simple SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE queries on specific time defined in MySQL database in addition to sending email notifications
Re: Windows Service-Like in Debian
I am sure that there are a hundred ways to approach this problem, but maybe the easiest would be to write a simple php (or python) script to run these queries, and then have a CRON job fire off the script periodically. You can set up the script to send you emails.
