Excellent Post @ http://www.markus-gattol.name/ws/time.html#cron Once we get to know what a cron job is, we can go on an get going on our linux box. This link will help you create your own cronjob: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-add-jobs-to-cron-under-linux-or-unix-oses/

When we try executing our suite on Firefox, there is an issue with the new Selenium 1.0.3 server: Got result: XHR ERROR: URL = http://www.____.com/ Response_Code = 503 Error_Message = Serrvice Temporarily Unavailable on session b882a11224b7____ This doesn't occur with the older selenium server jar but just the new one. Root Cause: This occurs mainly due to Open command If we alter the open command to have its second argument as TRUE...it works! Reference: Reference2 Also suggest  that you might want to use the latest version of Selenium RC...RC's 2 and above don't throw the XHR error... Get the latest RC here .

we get this error when we are trying to run a testng annotated java selenium code on firefox: "[testng] com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: this.getCurrentWindow is not a function" Then all the other annotations are SKIPPED. A workaround for such an error would be to put the line of code which gives this error under a try block. In my case it was openReader() I changed the code as below: try{ openReader()} catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.toString());} The class should throw the Exception too! This solved the problem and after the exception is printed, the execution continues!
