Talked to some of the people from the distributed computing effort and its not the client most likely its FreeBSD doing this. I have no problem with it doing this I happen to enjoy it so I thought I would learn more on how bsd does its cpu time slicing.... -- ___ /\ \ phase two of global domination in operation, hide all lions. /::\ \ /:/\:\ \ Comments or Questions email spikeman@myself.com _\:\~\:\ \ /\ \:\ \:\__\ Spikeman spikeman@myself.com \:\ \:\ \/__/ http://www.spikeman.net \:\ \:\__\ Find Me On EFNET /whois Spikeman \:\/:/ / \::/ / Friends are lights in winter; \/__/ The older the friend, the brighter the light.
