I arranged the expire and daily : crons to run at such times as they do not overlap. This overlap is : what causes the problem. Even with rearrange, I still catch the tail : end of expire. I'll probably trash the daily and manually run fsck : periodically. Why don't you just take the fsck of the news system out of daily? Daily does a lot of useful things: trashing it because it's foolishly setup to fsck a mounted news filesystem whould be a shame:) -- David Miller Usual disclaimers apply
