How about this. <small flame>: This is sort-of Unix. Unix fsck's perodically on startup and it can't be "scheduled" to run at a specified time since it has to happen on boot, unless you schedule shutdowns on a 24/7 box (which you don't have). Your only choice is to either schedule fscks or edit the initscript that checks to see if its time to fsck and ask for confirmation. This is a mailing list. As with all mailing lists, there is both a culture of use and a code of conduct. You've been asked politely to not concatenate emails and reply in a blob; not only did you do that but you added more problems instead of starting a new thread. This is sort-of Unix. A Unix box needs a functional MTA to send local mail. If your exim startup is slow, its probably trying to do a DNS lookup which means you didn't answer the questions properly when you configured it. Try dpkg-reconfigure the exim4 server. You may need to adjust the level threshold (e.g. P low) so that you get asked if you want to minimize DNS queries for dial-up use. If you want to discuss MTA setup further, start a new thread. <\small flame> Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
