Excellent - Nico was also talking about an extended cron service a while back at: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=8643&tstart=60#37172 (and I found an old smf-discuss thread along the same lines at http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=2941 ) Is there any progress on this, or an RFE open for the proposed cron restarter or the smf-aware-cron ? cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Solaris Engineering Ops http://blogs.sun.com/timf
