# handy script to be set to execute set of commands under variables command1_to_exec and command2_to_exec every 5 seconds via cron
# The timing can easily be adjusted of course by changing "sleep 5" to "sleep any_number_of_secs"
# to set via cron definition should be like
# * * * * * /path/to/exec_every_5_secs_cmds.sh
# God is great! ;) 
command1_to_exec='/bin/ls';
command2_to_exec='/bin/pwd';
