Re: Prepending a string to STDERR output, and logging STDOUT & STDERR synchronously to a file

At the risk of changing the subject, have you considered using perl's very own File::Find that ships with perl? It will give a lot of control and have the bonus of being readable in ways a shell solution could only dream of.

Sorry if I gave the impression that find was the command I wanted to run in cron. I just used it because it quickly generates lots of output with which to play, for testing only. The stuff in cron is SAS, FAME, Splus, Matlab, and usually wrapped in Perl. Jonathan (aka Anonymous Perl Monk petitioneer)	[reply]
