The shell script can then be called from the single cron job. Not only does it work, but it also keeps the crontab nice and tidy. It delegates permission to 'sub-scripts' which have a meaningful context, e.g. back up hard drive, back up Web space, check ranking and so forth. Roy -- Roy S. Schestowitz http://Schestowitz.com |

| Civilians | Re: If not wget then what? I was told to use this: lynx -dump http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.php > /dev/null but I have never done that before and the 'dump' part has me concerned. Can someone tell me what exactly that will do? Heidi |
