I am not sure what the correct procedure is to do an atomic update. Scenario: 1) Download database-1. This database is going to replace an identically named database. Since I cannot shut down the program that is using this database, what would be the best way to insert the new database. I was thinking that I could use the 'mv' command as opposed to 'cp', but I am not sure. -- White Hat pigskin_referee@yahoo.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
