No. I red the article on Crontab to which Diane provided the link. There are three separate cleanup scripts which run: 1) Every night at 3:15 AM 2) Every Saturday at 4:30 AM 3) Every first of the month at 5:30 AM. Your method would usually miss 2) and 3). The article describes how to reset them all these scripts for other times. What I'm not clear on is whether the very deep laptop sleep lets these run. I do know that since OS 10.1, my B&W G3 never really sleeps - it has screen-saver stuff. Perhaps that's to keep it awake enough for these scripts. So I wonder whether my iBook, in deep sleep, is operating at a level where these scripts come into play. Probably there's a log somewhere that can tell me. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
