I have the htmldir and logdir specified in each of the files below since
I have a different directory for each device.

Paul

I'm not certain I understand what you mean about "The files shouldn't
update..."  I believe the timestamp is correct.  I was under the
impression (perhaps MISimpression) that I could have a single (or
couple) master.cfg file that contained the names of each .cfg file that
I wanted to be called.  My current setup seems to only call the first
Include: file.cfg

I hate to be a pest, but why does each .cfg file work properly, but I'm
unable to call them from the master.cfg?

Thanks for any assistance.
Steve
