Try running the command using 'at': # at now+1minute /root/hosts.deny.sh ^d
If that works, then you're likely looking at an environment problem, and likelt it's PATH. The PATH available to cron is likely much more limited than what you use in your everyday shell (which 'at' will inherit.) Also check your (local) email. cron may well be mailing you the scriptsplat if things are failing badly. -- Steve Holton [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Convenience causes blindness.
