it does indicate it. it says that these files are shell scripts, run by cron. so you can put whatever you normally put in a shell script in the shell script, and whatever you normally put in your cron config files in your cron config files. the page also indicates in various places if things need to be set in crontab, and so on. if there are any caveats, i'd like to know them. jmc
