You're welcome, and I was going to say I probably can't help. But, I just ran ps -auxw, and I may see the problem. The display is somewhat misleading, but it does not show a start time for a task, it shows a start date, and something like the total amount of time a task has run. (Aside, I haven't gone to the man page to pin down more precisely what that time represents, and I think it is reset under some circumstance, but I don't know that either. (At least, that's what my display shows.) Hope this helps, Randy Kramer
