If you want it to be run as a "daily" process, I think you can put it in an executable file (named nnn.whatever, where nnn is lower than 999, but higher than the file with the next-to-highest number) in /etc/periodic/daily. Make sure it is owned by root and is executable. -- Martin Karlsson 0x9C924660 [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8taMUZv+TMpySRmARAnpHAJ95vIIEdwMkGWn92kp29bfXl/1b8gCdEpey +FLrG3C6GcKc5ONkpY0ilBM= =lFPr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
