shouldn't you just write a shell script [and run it via cron]? it could take arguments to be able to handle different files coming in or different tape drives. you can do all kinds of crazy stuff - have it poll a directory and process any files that are there - write a web page [with file upload (although the files may be too big for that)] - write a web service where you hit a certain URL with the right arguments and it does it all for you this seems to me like a programming problem. just spend enough time on requirements ... -- \js : "verbing weirds language." -calvin [http://or8.net/~johns/] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
