Not really. It would probably be better to export to a new directory (like $WEBROOT.new), then rename the existing directory (to something like $WEBROOT.old), rename the new directory to $WEBROOT, and then remove the old directory. That requires enough space to hold two copies of the directory but minimizes the time when the tree is incomplete. -Larry Jones See if we can sell Mom and Dad into slavery for a star cruiser. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
