This is something for questions@freebsd.org, not isp@freebsd.org. Thanks. And the reason is because you don't have . in your PATH. This is a common newbie problem and discussed in any number of UNIX guides, a number of which are listed in the appendix of http://www.freebsd.org/handbook - I suggest you visit this page and many an appropriate purchase. > One more question....I would like to run a specific program every 30 > minutes is there a easy way to do this in FreeBsd OS? See the man pages for at and cron. And again, these are both basic UNIX questions which would be better answered by a suitable book. Jordan
