Do you really want to restart Apache and named once an hour? Check if your crond process is running. If it's a linux box, you can also check /var/log/cron Frank zupanm 01-22-2002, 04:35 PM is that being run my user root? if not that could be a problem also priyadi 01-22-2002, 04:47 PM I think it is better if you restart named first, and then httpd 5 minutes later. Some httpd.conf configuration requires DNS lookup, so in your case, if DNS is still down when your cron is starting httpd, then httpd won't get started properly. bombino 01-22-2002, 07:13 PM Why on earth do you want to restart Apache that often?
