Put a little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d name it something like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bootmail.sh In it, put something like: #!/bin/sh echo "Coming Up at: `date`" | /usr/bin/mail -s 'Boot Notice' [EMAIL PROTECTED] exit 0 Make sure it has execute permission and it will run at boot time. It will send you an Email message complete with the date when it boots. Note the _back_ single quotes around date. ////jerry > > Jim > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
