Thanks Ken.. Now I just have to understand command and macro’s.. ;-) I do understand the way they are done, but still have some problem figuring this out. Like in the shedule where you have: 1 = 00 05 * * * ; announce the time the one at the beginnig, where is it comming from? or where does it point to? the rest is cron like and I understand.
