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:
