I think you are right. Might be the only way.	[reply]

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.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

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]
