If you mean the fetchnews from Leafnode, then if you have selected a PPP network connection it will be run every time you dial in. If you select a permanent network connection it will run from cron.daily. Otherwise it shouldn't run automatically unless you set up a cron job or something. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
