As a current sysadmin, amen! The original querant had emailed me personally and I replied without thinking to copy the list. I'd suggested he check cron, both the crontab (or /etc/cron*/whatever) entry for qrunner, to see whether it had been deleted, and the cron daemon. Sometimes after a severe clock-shaking it's useful to "killall -HUP crond" to get it moving again. Of course the prudent sysadmin would reboot at that point, as crond isn't the only daemon that'll sulk following a period of temporal chaos. Postfix is my favorite; short of reboot, I'll always do a "postfix reload" following a significant clock jump on a server I can't reboot at that time. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc.
