Again, I apologise for my rudeness. FWIW, I had just finished a massive project - transferring ubb 5 to UNIX (and getting it to run), upgrading ubb 5 to ubb 6 (40,000+ posts), and then immediately upgrading ubb 6 to threads (5 wouldn't upgrade to threads directly). I was tired and cranky - it was quite a chore to pull off! It does work, however, sans this one thing, so all in all things are alright. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

It's my machine, on a leased connection.

Only available documentation is 'man cron'. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thank you again.
