    Hi Mohamed,

    Be aware that you need to put the scripts in the /shared/scripts folder (else they will be lost during an update/upgrade).
    Same for the crontab, you have to recreate it afer an upgrade/update. That is why F5 invented iCall. Witch script and handler everything is within TMOS and will survive an update/upgrade.

    Regards,
    Kees
