What is happening is that RedHat is using a cron daemon that will automatically run missed jobs when it finds them. My guess is that you start your computer up for your class and crond realizes that it missed a job and starts running it. You could reschedule the job to run at some other time when your computer is normally on or you could turn cron off. -- --------------------------------+----------------------------------- Byron Clark | http://www.byronandannie.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] | --------------------------------+----------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 0365 6979 6C3E BC0C 56C0 FB7F 12B3 75DD 042B EA68
