modules auto unloading

Is there any other way , a preferred way, to manage modules auto unloading than setting a cron job (rmmod -a )?

Thanks for your time.

Re: modules auto unloading

What modules are you talking about and why exactly do you want to force an unload?  Please be more specific.

Re: modules auto unloading

Try loading modules with "insmod -k":
From insmod.old man page:

       -k, --autoclean
              Set the auto-clean flag on the module.  This flag will  be  used
              by  kerneld(8) to remove modules that have not been used in some
              period of time -- usually one minute.
