/etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d are the standard places for starting and stopping and generally controlling scripts. in some ways there is no easier way to start or stop a script than typing /etc/init.d/script start|stop|restart|reload of course you can put a cgi script up if you want to do it from another box and don't want to use ssh. as has been pointed out there are a zillion and one programs to generate the script itself. > > Andy > >
