i was thinking that "sun" meant Any Given Sunday, where
sun1 would be "first sunday" and "sun3" would be "third
sunday"...
sun any sunday
sun1 first sunday
sun2 second sunday
sun-1 last sunday
wed-2 second-to-last wednesday
just an idea, is all.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the
file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more
info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to
display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
