Chan) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.misc Subject: cron/stdout pipe question Date: 7 Sep 1995 20:31:46 GMT Organization: University of California, Riverside Lines: 21 Message-ID: <42nkri$nb3@galaxy.ucr.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.ucr.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] I've got a command that "pipes" data through stdout (and then performs a redirect to a file). This command works fine when the command is executed at a prompt. . . but when its executed from cron, the command bombs out. I figure it may have something to do with the cron process not being attached to a tty of some sort. (please let me know if I'm thinking in the right direction). Is there a workaround for this? _____ Arthur K.
