Which is EXACTLY what the OP says he wants.


What I told him works perfectly and I KNOW it does because I do it that way
myself.

Perhaps, since you are so very knowledgable, you could like give the OP
the answer he needs?

Just a thought.

Well Cameron, I've been reading in man init, and you are very right about
the big picture being more complex than I made it seem in my post.

Never-the-less, I have been using that "recipe" for quite a while, and it
seems to work fine. Perhaps as I read further I will pick up some refinements.

Thanks,


Alan C
