I decided to follow suit with the other periodic scripts and added to the top of mine: if [ -r /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ] then . /etc/defaults/periodic.conf source_periodic_confs fi so I could control my script through the conf files. Instead of editing any of the confs in /etc/defaults/, I created /etc/periodic.conf which /etc/defaults/periodic.conf lists as a local override file. I only put the options for my script in /etc/periodic.conf and left everything else to run on the defaults. problem is, now when the periodic jobs kick off, I keep getting "YES: not found" listed in the log files that are mailed to me. any ideas? -Christian _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
