Thanks for all of the help. I took numerous individuals suggestions and created a script and had cron call that script. It worked like a charm. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Hal Dorsman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 10:14 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.
