Paul Schmehl said: > Just out of curiosity, why would you use cron rather than > /etc/periodic/daily? If you want something to run at a different time of day than the daily scripts. You could modify /etc/crontab and move the time around, but the rest of the scripts still follow and most of us have been trained to never monkey with files in /etc except a few. Also, typing 'crontab -e' is extremely simple when all you have to do is run a single command. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution - http://www.idealso.com
