Of course it's not listed in "ps aux" because it's not a continuous runner like ntp. I put this in my root crontab: #!/bin/sh 3 */3 * * * /etc/init.d/ntpdate start && /sbin/hwclock --systohc Hey, that's odd. The file is gone, but the cron job still runs.

For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFNp/JS9HxQb37XmcRAmToAKCPuue3iLBJxT4QdNNiPNxKkz42MQCfSynO sk6/ySTuv3s6hHrD5ZqlFf0= =6pof -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
