I am not sure how to go about this. If I do not want to touch the system CRON, is it possible to create a personal CRON that could run two programs, both at the super user level" Example: I want to update the ports tree and then run portmanager to install the updates. These obviously have to be run as root. Is there a way I can force this to happen without actually leaving the system logged in as root? I have 'bash 3' installed as my shell if that makes any difference. --=20 Gerard E. Seibert gerard-seibert@suscom.net
