Hi.
Am a unix 5.o.5 user. I need to schedule a program to be running everyday at 12 midnight. How do i proceed. I need help.

Also what is the maximum size that sco unix can conveninetly handle. I keep getting this message. "Filesystem greater than device which it is curently located. Pls backup and recreate."

Thanks

Help needed urgently!!!!!!

i'm not familiar with the maximum size that sco can handle but this error looks more like you are trying to fit a large man into a little girl's dress --- your filesystem cannot be bigger than your alloted disk space (i.e., a 10GB disk drive cannot hold a 20GB filesystem) ...
