Another file in /etc! sysctl! sysctl! :-) Time to take Terry up on his logicals concept. Anyone familiar enough with the way that VMS handles/d these willing to talk for a while on it? I seem to recall that you could create logicals on a system-wide basis as well as per-session (or was that per-user?) There should be a way to integrate this with sysctl so that what are currently sysctl variables become system-wide logicals with little or no effective change, but the concept is extended to per-process group (kinda like the environment), or summat similar. > Jordan -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
