Yes, its possible. I've been doing it quite recently. You probably need to run as root. The executable is found in whatever directory the run-parts command points to. My experience is only with contents of /etc/cron.daily, but I think it should be OK for all the rest. I run just the particular one I want to freshen, e.g. #/etc/cron.daily/dwww -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
