Hi Derek, Ok, that's a good start. Means I can keep all the vcr scripts in one place. I have/use webmin all the time for various other stuff across all 6 machines but am a little confused with the setup boxs so a little more help would be appreciated. In webmin I have clicked on Create Cron Job... Execute cron job as "magnet" <-- username Command... I'm assuming this is the full path to my script? Input to command... Is this where you can pass params to your script if needed? When to execute seems fairly straightforward :) -- magnet Registered Linux User: 281659 Registered machines: 163839,163840,163841,163842,163843,163844 6xAthlon 1.2GHz all running some flavour of Mandrake.
