This list frowns on top posting, so please don't. How do you know it doesn't work? Seriously. You really need to tell us what what you're doing, exactly, step by step, and what is happening when you do it, if anything. Are you using root's crontab or something else? Does /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub have a passphrase on it? -- --Jon Radel j...@radel.com
