Thanks a lot Mr Bijnens !
I haven't problems for schedule your script.
But, your answer push a new question : What are a wrapper ? and how to
use this in our case ?
I know, i abuse a lot ;) but i reply at amanda-users list to, for the
pedagogic aspect of your answer are archived.

(in french: Je sais, j'abuse, mais je repond aussi sur amanda-users list
pour que votre reponse soit archivée, vu son caractere pedagogique.)

Thanks again
