I have nightly jobs that obviously aren't running, and /var/log/cron makes no mention of them. Looking for logs, I found syslogd down, although cron was up. Any idea of where I should look? Stability problems in syslogd? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
