In the aforementioned article <http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html>, the author, Chris Stone, says that in part 2 he'll "explain how to configure Mac OS X�s built-in mail server and the Mail application so that you�ll receive an emailed report every time the cron jobs run!" (I assume we'll be able to use Entourage instead of Mail if we want...) But, using this notification service, you could figure out if the scripts actually run when your Mac is in deep sleep. A brute-force method of determining the answer, but none of the OS X lists I follow have been able to answer the question of whether the cleanup scripts run during deep sleep. -- Doug Freeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
