Dunno...looks pretty intense to this noob. :) Seriously though, if I'm following what you're doing (and I think I am), that should do it. I'd just have to set the cron job to run fairly frequently. Amazingly, I already have one running that strips out .xml files that fires every minute (yikes!)...I could just add your bit-o-magic to that.

What about a cronjob that does this: olddirsum=`cat olddirsum` newdirsum=`ls --full-time /ftpdir | md5sum` if [ "$newdirsum" != "$olddirsum" ]; then ls /dir | mail -s 'Updated FTP Directory' [EMAIL PROTECTED] echo "$newdirsum" > olddirsum fi Tony -- Anthony E.
