Not everybody has it's computer running 24hrs a day, and cron lacks the feature of starting tasks that were skipped. I for my part don't have to let the computer run if there's no specific task to be done... so please: don't even think about cron scheduled jobs for system maintenance... they will just not work as requested Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If you add the tasks to "daily" it will be done, even if your machine was not switched on.

Yes, but the drawback is these jobs will start running shortly after switching on the computer. This does not hurt that much on high-end machines esp. if your local file system is rather small... -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
