ok here's a dirty dirty patch. what i did was take the etc/periodic/daily/210.backup-aliases script and do some hacking. this is the work of 2 minutes or so. that's why the script is pretty crappy and probably plain wrong in a few cases. however somebody else who has more time might be able to improve it. :) changes to etc/defaults/periodic.conf and etc/periodic/daily/Makefile (or where you want the script to go) need to be hacked in by hand. cheers. alex > > > -- > > Sam Fourman Jr. > Fourman Networks > http://www.fourmannetworks.com
