I'm not a cron expert myself, nor do I think RTFM is too clear, but I'm sure your sysadm would be able to help you... unless you're avoiding that sysadm who goes home at 5... ;) As for logon area... I take it you want the mud to be up and running, but not accept logins until 5pm. Seems to me you need to #include time.h and investigate into that... the nanny function might be the place to look... ie. add a statement like: if <thie time is not right>, print silly comeback at 5PM message; return; Good luck... -Billy H.
