I think I've mis-communicated to folks. I'll try this, but my problem is primarily that we aren't getting Gump run at the assigned times. They used to work (before I tried putting multiple into a day). Could my abuse of the machine (sucking way too much up into memory) have messed with cron? Could cron be hung? Is there a way to debug if cron is trying to run this, or not? FWIIW: The redirection on the 'cron line' worked to help me find my problem on Hermes (as I did it) but that is another OS, another implementation. I'll try this. Hopefully it is just something I changed in the script, or something. regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
