The default crontab runs 'senddigests' daily at noon. 'sendigests' sends a digest for all lists that have accumulated any posts. There is a '-l listname' option to send the digest if any for only the listname list. Thus, you could set up multiple crontab entries to run 'senddigests -l list1', 'senddigests -l list2', etc. at different times, but this would be quite a maintenance headache. Alternatively, instead of having cron run senddigests, you could have cron run a script of some kind every half hour or whatever and the script could read a file of listnames and times and run 'senddigests -l listname' for those lists that had times within that half hour. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
