Idonno. He's also recommending a constant append of these suckers so you have them all from all your old reboots. On the other hand, is main reasoning is that you lose the top end gradually on a machine that stays up for a long time, which I've seen before, and you don't need all the old ones if that's all you're trying to accomplish. Anyway, at least I'm writing the two files in the same place (/var/log/latterdmesg.log I'm calling the new one). The /etc/info area doesn't really seem right for it anyway. That kindof thing, to my mind, really goes on /var. Thanks for the feedback. > -- > Karl E.
