My opinion on that is that Unix as always been predominately weighted towards interactive and daemon processes, whereas mainframes were/are weighted towards batch jobs (even CICS is a batch job), batch queues and job schedulers. Cron really is a poor substitute for batch queues and a job scheduler. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "I must acknowledge, once and for all, that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis.", Mr. Spock -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIQZJrS9HxQb37XmcRAt7cAKCm8YcbMFhvqfMTGp9NN/ieUIfksACfeOXO bPCnzN5nklJvYot3i3LFfcw= =Ui1o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
