That link really takes me back, dude's email address is convex.com. The 1st UNIX machine I worked on (end user) was also the 1st Convex machine (a C1) installed in HSV .... *Loved that machine* .... <snif> .... & I have come to agree about csh scripts, but this one is so small & simple (3 lines, a wrapper to run a process in BG, nice it down, redirect stdout & stderr to a file, & clock it) I let it live .... -- William A.
