What I find most interesting about this is this - I have 6 fbsd machines and they all have the same results from 'grep find *' in the daily directory. But I have only seen it actually do anything on the one machine. All of the machines except one, run fbsd 4.0-release, the other 4.1.1-r. Is there something else going on that may cause this to not run, I guess I am looking for something that would turn it on or off, a conf file somewhere? Really, it's no big deal, I am just curious about this happening on one in six machines. If there are specific docs somewhere maybe someone could point me in the right direction? I tried man periodic but that gives me a small amount of info about motif widgets, I don't think that's the same subject. There is no man entrys for daily, weekly or monthly. I also looked in my 4 unix books and one fbsd book for periodic, monthly, daily, and schedule, but came up with nothing that relates to this subject. Obviously I am missing a key word to search for, what is it? -- Chip -- previous irrelevant stuff snipped -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
