I think periodic activation is best handled by cron, insomuch as that's what it's there for. Some very tiny script called from cron can send the "go now" signal. I'd really like to avoid the proliferation of system-helper daemons, particularly when we've got parts that already would be able to do most of the work. The Unix Way and all that. And I'm confidant that the other stuff could be solved with this approach too. :) -- Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
