I think it's a bit more complicated. Cron won't probably do anything while the mac is sleeping. I think you need something else to wake it up before, using power manager features that aren't available from the system prefs yet as far as I know and are probably unknown to cron (since it's a unix thing and PCs took 15 years to go from what is basically a 0.5$ quartz watch to a 1$ watch with alarm clock). You can find those on macupdate.com (I didn't try them yet) To get a scheduled wake/sleep pref pane similar to OS9's: iBeeZz beta And for you Chris : WakeUp and Wake550 to wake macs from sleep over a network Sleep Monitor to check what's going on ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
