Could you give me an example of when I would want to run something until the OS reboots, and then not run it? (The only example I can think of are the graphical login services, but there might be something more interesting.) Generally, I don't worry about allowing this case as much as the other one. - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
