I don't lnow what your script looks like, but i would geuss that someone made an error in editing it. ufsdump does _filesystems_ so I would suppose you invoke it once for each filesystem you want to backup. I will be that you will find that it is not being invoked corectly on the /isr partion (filesystem). Run it from the command line and llok for error messages. Cron is likely set up to discrad its standard out, and error out, thus masking the problem. -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
