Just out of curiosity, the sync entry on my cron: 00 00 * * * /usr/bin/eix-sync -q > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo -e "$(date)\n\n\n$(hostname -f) was NOT sync'ed.\n\n" | mail -s "harley.las sync fail" [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you can use "genlop -r" (from "app-portage/genlop") to check your sync history. -- Ricardo Saffi Marques http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/~saffi/ ====================================================== Laboratory of System Administration and Security - LAS Institute of Computing - IC P.O.
