My work machine, since it's also a web server, doesn't sleep. The others I turn on and off as I use them, so no. Every year or so I may check to see if the logfiles are getting too big and run the scripts by hand, but since 10.5 will now run them as needed when it can, I don't bother even with that. Really the scheduled scripts do some housekeeping but it's hardly the kind that will cause problems if they're not run for a long time. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
