Hi I have a 5.4-R system with an Adaptec 2200S. I also have Linux emulation running and the aac_linux kernel module installed and I can run the aaccli program successfully in a terminal window and use it to check status of the RAID controller. However, if I do it from a cron job (same script as I run in a terminal) I get no output. aaccli uses terminal control commands and I suspect it is detecting that it is not connected to a terminal and hence not running. However, I so-far have not been able to get the Cron output to check for errors due to the fact that the mail server rejects it for not having a valid From/Sender and cron does not seem to set a From on its mail or something. Any ideas on how to get this aaccli program to run in a cron job? Adaptec really took a step backwards when they went to this aaccli from the earlier raidutils used with asr devices. The output is cryptic and a pita to work with. Thanks Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad@shire.net
