Andriss, I have a little perl script that is basically used out of cron to run a program called mirrordir for me each night, mirroring two "identical" hard drives on the same machine. I believe the home page for it is at http://www.obsidian.co.za/mirrordir/ and it can be downloaded from ftp://lava.obsidian.co.za/pub/linux/mirrordir/ Jerry At 02:43 PM 9/13/99 -0400, Andriss wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >Hello, > >Michael, thank you for your input..
