It sounds like something I was going to suggest as a joke. I was going to propose that, in cron.daily, they put in a script that sets up 288 "at" jobs... all 5 minutes apart. However, that's about at the top of the scale of tackiness and inelegance, IMHO. - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
