Have a look to the script /etc/cron.daily/wn cron executes daily weekly and monthly the contents of : /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly depending on the contents of /etc/crontab /etc/crontab on my machine : SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 42 6 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 47 6 * * 7 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 52 6 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly So every day at 6:42 AM all the scripts in /etc/cron.daily will be executed. In fact only those following the #!/bin/interpretername convention (see man run-parts) To get back to your pb, I don't actually know what 'wn' stands for, so you need to look at /etc/cron.daily/wn or the program it is linked to. -- Jean-Michel Rouet (thesard Dpt ITI) | Tel : +33 298 001 730 ENST de Bretagne | email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29285 Brest Cedex | France | http://www-iti.enst-bretagne.fr/~rouet/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
