I was wondering if i can run a dll (c#) with crontab ? The dll is compile with mono.
thx 🙂
— EDIT —
Well it can be a .exe. I was looking at daemons on mac and linux, do you think I can run .exe as a daemon.

Why not write a mono-based exe that takes the DLL path and entry point method as parameters? The exe would then use reflection to load the DLL and execute the specified method. (You could opt for convention-over-configuration by specifying something like a DllMain method in your DLL which the exe would know to call automatically. Then just one parameter would be required and the intent of your code more obvious.)
Implementing such an applet would give you a utility similar to RunDll in Windows and allow you to run mono DLLs from cron.
