Thanks for the tips, but this is unfortunatly not possible to do from cron because some of the updates require a reboot to become active (but all of this is beyond the scope of this list). The underlying problem I am trying to address here is the fact that rhgb has a lot of settings hardcoded into the main.c file, I think it would be a good idea if the string descriptions of services and various time-out settings could for example be set using configuration files instead of requiring a recompile. Kind regards, Gijs PS I'm using a modified rhgb rpm now, that I have patched to include the description of my service and that does not switch back to vt 1 after 35 seconds of no pinging.
