Can you do a crontab -l for me and send me the output?
Thanks for all your help!
This will work great for us.

I stop and start LISTSERV each day, using a script run from cron.
This requires a modification to the "go" script supplied by L-Soft,
which otherwise cycles the log each time it starts LISTSERV.
Attached are a diff for the go script, and my nightly cycle script.
