I have an at job which would run for at least two hours .. IF it would run to completion, but it always seems to die for unknown reasons. I do not get an email or any advice of the reason the job has terminated. So I was thinking that there may be a kernel timer which kills the job. is this possible? -- Jim Pazarena fquest@ccstores.com
