What's the story on wmgr and cron? I've heard that wmgr handles the cron functions on the Unix-pc so is there any reason to fire up cron? I can't find any docs on wmgr in the manuals I received with the machine so could somebody please tell me where they are? I have this weird feeling it's in that $350.00 manual.. Thanks in advance... -- John "C". Sucilla ihnp4!tarkus!jcs

Sucilla > ihnp4!tarkus!jcs No it's "smgr" that provides cron's functionality, it also posts the time at the top of your screen and is responsible for the "disk almost full" messages which, before 3.51, would flash a window up while you were typing and divert your output, a real nuisance. Fortunately, this was changed to just display an empty/full icon like your car's gas guage. - Nic
