I hope I am describing this well for you.              I sometimes do a test for certain files and if found the script will do that       with an "if", like this..              if [ -f /usr/local/fido/dotic.now ]; then        rm /usr/local/fido/dotic.now        /usr/local/bin/htick toss        /usr/local/bin/mfreq-index       fi              Then the script carries on with what it is doing.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 30/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/127 114/709 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 134/100 153/105 135 757 802 218/700 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426 550 616 700 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 282/464 1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 812 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 633/280 770/1 920/1 4500/1 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 221/6 301/1 229/426           |
