My Linux servers tend to run it via cron hourly and dump the results to syslog or a local log file . For now I am going to make a similar setup . Does using it as a daemon provide anything running it via cron can't ? Are there any options to stay away from , Linux only options etc ? Also does anyone know what options there are for FreeBSD on sparc ? I don't think I ported daemon mode for it. You will have to run it from cron for now. -- John Baldwin
