You need a shell or Perl script that will run the output ps -ax into a pipe to grep which will search for your filename (i.e.,syslogd, which my old firewall had a habit of lunching) then run the program if there exists any output from the grep. Simply place that in the cron table with your time slots marked. Should be straightforward enough. If you get tricky you can also then find the .core file left behind by the crash. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
