Try '0 12 * * * /usr/bin/parselog'. According to crontab(5) an asterix means 'first-last'. Your line is interpreted as '0-59' 12 * * * /usr/bin/parselog', which indeed means to start the command every minute in the time from 12pm to 1am. -alf -alf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
