Setting it to any time between 1 and 2 am - inclusive - is a bad idea if you live in a time zone that practices daylight savings time. At least in the US, that's when the switch happens, which can lead to things being run twice, or not running at all. If other time zones switch at a different time, it'll be different. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
