If I want my log file to have a line similar to: # GENERATED BY myperlscript how can I do this without the extra info: # GENERATED BY ./myperlscript or # GENERATED BY /home/cplace/bin/myperlscript Thanks in advance for any help Chip Place -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
