Hi Jean, I had a wee problem running a script transparently. By transparently, I mean running it as a cron job in the night. Its one of those things where 2 compounded errors ruins everything. Somehow someone had left the privileges for "logfile" set without group write access (mistake 1). But deep inside messubs there lurks a rather rude and abrupt messcrash. If logfile can't be opened for append or write the entire program dies. This seems rather extreme, especially if its another piece of code on the other end. It's left without a clue that its partner has just met sudden death. I would propose that ace begin an alternative logfile or simply note the fact that it couldn't write to the log (something a bit more resilient). I'd change it, but need to know your philosophy on this first. Suz.
