Cron job won't be able to know if file transfer is completed. It will have to guess from, e.g., testing the archive (if it's archive) for integrity. filesystem notification mechanism will for sure know, when the iostream got filewriteclose event. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 23.11.2010, <5:53> Sorry for my terrible english...
