Hi, having had the need to reschedule something from DELAYED I was looking at ftp://ftp-master.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README and the provided steps haven't been 100% clear to me. But instead of having to follow all those steps manually dcut-ng's dcut command line tool provides the features directly within one single command line, so it might be worth mentioning that. Attached patch takes care of that. Feel free to apply/adjust as needed. regards, -mika-
