The best way to do it would be to undelete the file, just as Gerhard suggested. If you remember any line (or piece) of code from the UpdateJobStatus.py file you can try to dump the /dev/mem to the hard disk, and then grep through it (remember that you need root priviledges to access /dev/mem). I tried it with this code: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03696.html with a small modification of this line: nvram = (strtol(argv[1], 0, 0)) << 16; changed to: nvram = (strtol(argv[1], 0, 0)); After compilation I just did: ./a.out 0x0 0xffffffff > memdump to get the memory dump. I am not a memory expert, but 0xffffffff should be enough for <= 4GB of RAM. If you got more, increase it. And to make it clear: I do not recommend this way of sorting things out :) -- Regards, Wojtek Walczak, http://tosh.pl/gminick/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
