that should work as log as you use a -u instaed of a u in the crontab command line. Alternatively you can run it in the system crontab file /etc/crontab. to do that you will need to insert the username in front of the path to the command like so: 0 0 * * * ebinc /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/reminder.cgi you could also create a text file with the existing crontab lines in it, add the new line and then use crontab -u ebinc filename to give it to cron. assume that you have a file with the desired crontab entry in it called reminder.crontab. you could then do something like: crontab -u ebinc >crontab.listing cat reminder.crontab >>crontab.listing crontab -u ebinc crontab.listing HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
