couldn't find "@reboot" referenced in the Solaris cron man pages. On systems without /etc/rc.local (e.g. Solaris), I frequently create /etc/rc3.d/S99local without bothering with any other links. This is effectively equivalent to /etc/rc.local. (Solaris defaults to run level 3, YMMV on linux, IIRC it's run level 4.) -Jason kg4wsv
