Re: Problems with GNATS

[Mehul Sanghvi]

Rick,

    OK,  I have the crontab entries in the manner i want (and no dumb 
typos either).  I still am a bit confused.  Does queue-pr update the 
index file ?  And do i need to run at-pr manually or does queue-pr 
handle that also ?


Currently the only thing in the crontab is the queue-pr entries for the 
diffrent databases that I have.  Anything else that needs to go in there 
?

I did get one message overnight from at-pr but am not sure how it got 
generated.


thanks,

   mehul
