Or maybe detach the process? Or is that a bad idea? What if you had 2 separate jobs: one runs iptables and dumps the output in a file somewhere, and the other mails it to you 10 minutes later. It's a hcak, though. Anacron(8) doesn't mention anything about a timeout; it only mentions waiting for jobs to finish. Maybe removing the -s flag would be of value? Just stabbing in the dark, now, though. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
