As a quick refresher, a shell script that runs for a few hours doing backups and STABLE cvsups and builds, runs for days when started by cron on my ThinkPad X21 which is plugged in and running overnight. Bracketing the script with "apm -e false" and "apm -e true" doesn't change that fact. Changing the BIOS settings from maximum performance when plugged in and maximum battery life when unplugged to "custom" when plugged in (defined in part to mean fixed high cpu speed) didn't help when I tried it last night. Any other suggestions? -- M/S 258-5 |1024-bit PGP fingerprint:|tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59| (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000| 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6|FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
