Just what exactly does Backgrounder do? Hang around looking in the spool folder and fire off PrintMonitor if there's anything there? -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

On a similar note, what does "responder" do? I think it's an init that comes with the system software. Wayne Colella colella@emav51.webo.dg.com

Responder is used by the InterPoll Network Administration utility to help debug network faults. It can tell InterPoll the name of your machine as well as software versions and machine type. It is handy on a network but of little utility otherwise. HH That's all folks!
