Good i hope! I want to learn more about /etc/periodic and how it works, can you reply with some man pages i might refer to, and give me a small description of these scripts? Looking through them i only see a handful that i have actually seen DO something, like for example i have seen cron email me for some of them, but a lot i have never been aware of. I dont expect you to tell me all of them, ill refer to the manpages for that, but can you tell me if they all run and some dont email me or if some need to be "turned on" by some method? Oh and lastly i edited my signature. I didnt mean to have my url twice. Its because the webmail we use has that footer, so it was my signature on top of that! ----------------------------------------- Free email that kicks ass from UnixHideout "The UnixHideout network" http://www.unixhideout.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
