Bit again. My cute crontab cleanup command, does more than clean up old files. (find /usr/tmp -mtime +1 -a -exec rm -r -f {} \;) It sometimes cleans up the directory too. This shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Many thanks Jeff (and Fred), things work much better now. -- UUCP : ... ! {apple,ucdavis} ! umt ! marsh US Mail : Paul Marsh, University of Montana, Computer Center Missoula, MT 59812 phone : (406) 243-5455
