I'm writing a script that has logging via a simple routine:
LogIt() { Msg="$1" echo "$THISSCRIPT: $Msg" echo "$Msg" >>$LogFile }
#A portion of this script sends a file via ftp: # ftp -vn >$tempfile <<$$EOD : : $$EOD #Then reads the temporary file to log while read line do LogIt $line Done <$tempfile rm -f $tempfile -------------------------------------- All worked fine when I tested the ftp to a temporary file and reading it back to log the output, but once I created it as a cron entry (or so it seems) it now seems to take each line up to the first space:
Connected 220-TCP/IP Copyright 220 Remote 331 230 250 200 local: 227 150-About : :
See anything I'm doing wrong....any better way of handling this?
TIA,
