A while back someone posted an 'awk(1)' script which S.A.s could use to check the integrity (read/write permissions, etc.) of all programs scheduled to be run out or '/usr/lib/crontab'. I've misplaced my copy - if someone has it, could you please 'mail(1)' it to me. Much Thanks. Gay Seubert ..!ihnp4!houxm!garys
