Apols for not going and checking, but ... isn't there some 'run-parts' or so that's part of the cron variant that's in blfs (fcron 3.x, ch.12 blfs 7.5, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.5/general/fcron.html ); I guess maybe not, if your system isn't picking it up. akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
