Did you know that, if your UNIX skills are not sufficient to use cron, you can start an application at a specified time by using iCal. You simply create an appointment at a specific time and set the alarm to start the application required, simple... I use it to start my P2P client at just after midnight when my ISP no longer throttles the torrent traffic. Simon
