scripting is best, but you should also remember that cron has minimal environment settings, so it is very possible that the system does not know where to find the date command. why don't you fully qualify the date command and see if your setup is working? Pete -----Original Message----- From: Hal Dorsman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 9:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] Log switching with a Cron Job---Please Help Rainer is correct. Don't put the command in the crontab. Write the script, test it manually, then call the script from cron.
