Interesting note... I called the AT&T HOTLINE for a Systems Question.... Problem: I wanted multiple time windows during the day for a machine call.. ie: machine a could only be called at 0800-0820 0900-0920 1000-1020 etc... I tried every combo I could think of to do this on one line. I experimented and found out if you make multiple system entries that you can do this.... anyway Systema MoTu0800-0820 ACU ..... Systema MoTu0900-0920 ACU ..... They (AT&T) said that their reference didn't say anything about multiple calling times and said they couldn't help. I asked them which reference... and they were using: Using usenet and uucp by nutshell books.... The father of Sys V unix using another company's reference... figures BTW, I called them back and gave them the answer... -- Don Ingli - USDA/Soil Conservation Service - Information Resources Mgmt.

I use other SaSu0000-2359Any1730-0730 ACU ... and this single entry works well, at least with the demands I have made upon it. I am not sure what would happen if it had overlapping times or days, but fortunately I haven't run into this necessity yet. If I do, I'll use your idea.
