I very like the idea of your "maintenance", just wanted to add a thought: for all the people that don't use their pcs so many hours every day, how about counting the uptime (and saving its value at shutdown) so that "daily" is run every 24 hours _of_use_, and so on for the others? One doesn't need a locate rebuild every week if he didn't use the system, right? My 2 eurocents. :-) Ciao, D.
