Re^5: Checking for STDIN

I don't know about it being the only way, but checking if -logfile was provided as an argument is definitely the most direct way of doing something only if -logfile was provided as an argument.

I don't see what cron or STDIN has to do with anything. Is there some other case you haven't mentioned?

By the way, I don't see why you don't just pipe it in from cron like you do from the command line.

Yeah, there is something I didn't mention that hurts the checking for -logfile (the most obvious). I got my script to work however checking for -logfile doesn't work because the user might forget to use the -logfile option and I have to check for that too. Best Regards	[reply]

There's not much that can be done when they user tells you to do something other than what he wants you to do.	[reply]
