Home of the 32532 Lines: 9 Hdate: 17 Iyar 5747 I have noticed that when the system is down at midnight on the day an article should have expired and 'expire' didn't run that night, that article is not expired the next night, or ever. I run a 'find -mtime +nn' now and then to locate those which are really old and remove them. -- Amos Shapir National Semiconductor (Israel) 6 Maskit st. P.O.B. 3007, Herzlia 46104, Israel Tel.
