Or something. I loosely know what this is (it's a scheduled job, right?) but no idea how to do it. I have looked in the Handbook and the FAQ but didn't find anything relevant. I must just be missing it -- can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, ROman -- _________________________________________ | Roman Katsnelson | | UNIX Network Engineer | _ | Graphnet, Inc. | _ / )|_________________________________________|( \ / / | "Laws are like sausages.
