I'll have to try the script -- since my first attempt really is a simple script. I wrote a simple 17 line script that take a filename argument, opens it, reads 1 line that it expects to be a number, increments the number and rewrites it to the file, and closes it. So my crontab looks like: # For

cron does not use sendmail for mail delivery. It uses a small program call ssmtp. Before trying to get cron to send email, be sure that it is working properly without it. Try a simple cron job such as: * * * * * pwd >> /tmp/pwd.txt or * * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt or * * * * * /

getting cron to work -> status too large for sendmail?

I was trying to get cron to work -- it looks like it is invoking something on a regular basis, however, it is also trying to send the 1 line of output of cron job to the owner. In the process it includes the entire environment (in this case of the user who started cron, me). It includes the envir

Re: behaviour of "for (( exp1; exp2; exp3 )); do COMMANDS; done"

Peter, Make sure your scripts explicitly state /bin/bash as their shell. The default shell (i.e. /bin/sh) under Cygwin is ash, not BASH. It produces the diagnostic you mention when given that command. Randall Schulz At 00:56 2003-05-27, Peter Oosterlynck wrote: When using a line like "for (( i
