In /etc/cron.d, create a file containing the cron entry for once a minute, like so: 1/1 * * * * /usr/local/bin/pdfdistiller You'll have to check the manpage for crontab to make sure I've got the syntax right, it's 2:20 and i've been setting up LDAP with a hangover from last night :) You'll notice that your script that you had in /etc/cron.hourly has been moved to /usr/local/bin, and is called from the new file in /etc/cron.d If your system doesn't have /etc/cron.d, then edit the system crontab, /etc/crontab, and add the above cron script. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg <Jaq> right, i've read the spec, my brain is on fire; time to start coding. -- #sodfest97 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
