Although I am having problems launching CERN httpd, I thought those in this group were more likely to be using Apache but still might want to do what I'm trying. ---------------------------- I have been running tests and I think the problem is more fundamental to at and crontab here at my installation. A trivial shell script that copies a file from one place to another in a test directory works as expected from the foreground but will not work from crontab or at unless I make the directory writeable to the world! And then, the file thus created shows an owner "32766". I'm posting to a local unix group here and writing to the unix keepers as well. However, if someone here knows what they have done to crontab and at, feel free!! --Thanks, --Jim Fox
