   Found a problem with script:   
      
   Line 37,38 & 43 etc :   
      
   Remove line 37, replace all occurances of $MBSE_HOME with $MBSE_ROOT   
      
   My processing sits in /etc/maint which runs at 07:00 daily.   
   maint shows as:

    and etc/f/allfiles.diz :   
      
   === Cut ===   
   All files at Air Applewood zip'd.   
   Updated 07:00 each day.   
   === Cut ===   
      
   and etc/f/newfiles.diz   
      
   === Cut ===   
   All new files (last 30 days) at Air   
   Applewood zip'd. Updated 07:00 (local).   
      
   === Cut ===   
      
   The sleep 180 is a left over from when running with a dual 2 core E6600 but as   
   now running a AMD FX8350 8 core is not really needed but left in JIC (just in   
   case).   
      
   Can see the usage of having the date imbedded within the file_id.diz along    
   with   
   additional info so will mod it to cater as well as rebuilding the file.
