I believe he meant cron. Besides cron jobs and associated executables, there's files which are accessed intermittently and written/read from even more sparsely. Unless you somehow log the file paths for all such interactions how will you ever know what to delete and what not? I guess you can keep backups and experiment so that you don't find out something's missing the hard way, next time you decide to reboot. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
