They work fine for .deb programs. The Solaris package when installed makes entried in root's crontab for the /etc/cron.daily,weekly,monthly. I haven't figured out how to work with /etc/cron.d yes expect for installing the cron package over Solaris's version. update-rc.d works ok, except that Solaris goes thru init 2 and 3 on boot up, 3 being the final state after boot. So i edited the update-rc.d defaults to cope with this. The base install requires perl, dpkg, gzip, bash, and a few others I can't remember right this second. Give me a week, I will have something setup for ppl to see. -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems Inc.
