Janine, My suggestion is to never use the -t option. Just use -k. If you have a scheduled proc that really needs to finish no matter what, you probably need to have some kind of progress indicator. I had proposed similar changes to my cron module for OACS, but never completed the work. But if the job is important, I woundn't rely on AOLserver alone to handle it, because even if the job wasn't running at the time you did the restart, it might have been scheduled at a time during the restart. tom jackson -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
