I turn my computer off over night so I can sleep. This would mean missing the cron stuff but since most of it is done by periodic, I have a script that is started on boot that checks to see if the periodic stuff has been done in the last day, if not it does it and switches the computer off afterwards. Combined with a magic packet every morning from another machine that runs 24/7, It gets all the jobs done and servers as an alarm clock :-) -- /Xian "You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist" Golda Meir
