Too many is not good.
Just a few. I run another script keeping them at 20 max. I also checked permissions on all items inside the entire SIMS folder: The owerships are all admin:unknown, and all have r/w/x permissions on the owner, at least. The SIMS folder is on a separate partition, where "Ignore privileges on this volume" (Finder Info) is NOT checked. Still, SIMS often freezes when I try to quit it normally, and otherwise it does not freeze EVERY midnight, but often. I have installed WhistleBlower (www.sentman.com), which will now force- restart Classic if SIMS is unresponsive. Still, I'd like to find out more about the freeze. Next thing I'll do is install MacsBug and see if I can break into it and see where it's hanging. And Kevin, thanks for posting the restart script. I just figured out my own a two days ago, with the help of a Unix whiz, but yours is definetely nicer, so I can resist from posting mine :) Thomas ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
