If that's the case then it could be as simple (if I have understood your request correctly) as: 1) Log on to the remote machine 2) "su -" + password to attain root privilages 3) create your script (eg: /root/myscript.sh) 4) make it executable "chmod +x /root/myscript.sh" and then - if you want to have it started at boot time you could put this in crontab: 5) still as root do "crontab -e" and put in the line: "@reboot /root/myscript.sh" NOTE: All the above commands to be entered WITHOUT quotation marks "" HTH Mark -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
