Yes. Install the anacron RPM from Mandrake Software Manager, and all the cron jobs which are supposed to run on your computer at 4am, but cannot because your computer is not switched on at that time, will be run 15 minutes after you power on your computer. One of those jobs tidies up your log files. Do not be surprised if your computer goes crazy with disc accesses after you install anacron. You have a *lot* of log files to tidy :-) derek (I think thats the third time I have posted that advice this week) -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
