Re^3: Perl cron job not running

whipped up a cron line

*/1 * * * * root touch /tmp/foo; touch bar
[download]

and checked /tmp - meh... bar was touched in /root of course :-P

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

Hi shmem, Yeah, I've been using cron more often recently and I've been bitten by stuff like that :-) BTW, I noticed that there is a special character that cron does care about: apparently `%` marks the start of data that will be sent to the command on STDIN (and is converted to a newline after that). I'll have to try and remember that one too... Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply] [d/l]
