Mario, I believe that cron runs as a different effective user (root?), even for tasks in your personal crontab. Also, it doesn't have quite the same environment vars that you'd normally have in the shell. I've had trouble calling Growl (OS X notification) popups from cron for this reason. You might try writing an executable shell script to launch svn, then putting it in the /Library/StartupItems. Yeah, it looks like someone's already doing this: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-05/1140.shtml Good luck! =jimA= . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
