I ran 'apt-get -d upgrade' from an 'at' command and just figured out why this did not work. When it is run, apt-get asks if I really want to download, and since there is nobody at the keyboard to enter "Y", the command does not execute. Is there a way to enter the "Y" or to have the command execute without being asked to confirm? thanks -- Andrew ----------------------------- GnuPG Public KeyID: 0x48109681 *we all live downstream*
