Does the unique part of the log messages involve cron? My machines began doing this after an update yesterday (or day before...can't remember) and the messages were appearing in vi, etc. After I restarted cron, all was well again. This may have been a feature isolated to all 3 of my machines though. :) *shrug* HTH, -- Mike Brownlow http://wsmake.org/~mike/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1024D/8AA6EAFD 3861 96B3 EEA2 285C BE23 F706 3E1E EBB2 8AA6 EAFD "Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."
