ok, it doesn't look like there's much better than a good old fashioned stop/start to refresh cron in the event of having many automated changes being made to the crontabs. thanks for the various flowery alternatives. mark ------------------------------ original post ------------------------------ best way of restarting the cron daemon from a script so all it does is reread the crontabs: a) /etc/rc2.d/S75cron stop and start (dont like this, can not work) b) find the pid manually and kill it; restart cron c) send a kill -HUP a la inetd (dont think this works. plus, time stamp of the process is not updated which would have been helpful) d) something else interested in people opinions here. mark -------------------------------- ********************************************************************** This email is intended only for the addressee.
