I'm just curious. Most email clients have a switch to check the email every so often, and you can set it to any length you want. Of course, the process has to be running. With cron it will start the email client to perform the check then close it (I assume), so you don't have it running all the time. With memory and swap space so cheap, though, I'd think that would be the easy solution. In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.
