Further question. Have been looking at cron directories (I think anyway!). Have a long list of /etc/rc or etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.hourly and so on. With regard to the above script - do I navigate to the appropriate line eg /etc/cron.daily then insert the script? I know this sounds basic to experienced users, but it is like speaking a foreign language to me. Thanks Rosemary
