Is /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/ not the place to put your daily executable scripts? What is daily.local about? I have searched the net myself and seems that daily.local is something out of an old box. It should be superseded by /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/ Do you have a script like /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/999.local Or is there another place where the script daily.local will be launched. I assume that daily.local is a script? Maybe there $HOME is set? -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, De jrus wah, Willy ************************************* W.K.
