I have this on my todo for some time. So the idea would be to use vfiles and vunify blindly. Your script would not have to deal with that stuff. > I don't know exactly how vunify works, but if you want to do the hard work > I'll integrate it with the rest of the options. I will see what I can do. Thanks. I updated the package with your last version. --------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Gelinas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> vserver: run general purpose virtual servers on one box, full speed! http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc
