it is a news application which we start using the command "ant all" in
unix as root.

but what i really want to do is to check whether the application is
already running and if not start it automatically....i think it
involves a crontab entry..also i want to start it automatically at
boot.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

yours sincerely,
