Hum, I know that on my Linux system, a person cannot ssh in as root. Granted, it would be better than REXEC'ing as root. Depending on the requirements, I might even look at using ftp or scp to create a "trigger file" which is used in conjunction with a crontab entry (from root) the existance of which tells the crontab script to "kick off" the other process which requires root. This may not be possible. Of course, the basic question is why does this process require root? -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
