Until last week I have never touched Xenix before (and cron was already set up on the previous machine I was running), so the answer might be obvious. I have set up a cron entry for uucp to start uucico at particular times. When those particular times arrive, cron sends mail to uucp stating: sh: L-devices: cannot execute or something similar. The cron entry looks like: 30 12 * * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -s or something similar. What am I doing wrong? Please respond to me directly as I don't usually read this ng. Thanks. -- alan perry Dumb mailer: {trwrb,hplabs}!felix!dhw68k!allan Smart mailer: allan@dhw68k.cts.com
