I don't see what is so awful about that. Of course the cron job should call "make" and the makefile should have my-list.restrict depend on all of the others, so you only rebuild it when necessary. Furthermore, do you really need it to be every five minutes? Is it such a disaster if someone has to wait 30 minutes before between subscribing to a list and posting? -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice Hate spam?
