Can you send me the contains of the script,

or you can use the following line at the starting of the script. and if you are using mailx or sendmail command in your script then you have to comment that line to avoid mail.

exec 2> /tmp/out 1>&2

Hi (again) Navin:

Well, it seems that we need to do something different.

Choice one, since this is an immediate run is to substitute 'batch' and do:

# batch < /tmp/mytest > /tmp/mylog 2>&1
> !!

Type this at the prompts as shown

The methodology I commonly use for scripts that might or might not be 'cron'ed (or run via 'at') is something like this:

# cat mytest
#!/usr/bin/sh
[ -t 0 ] || exec > /tmp/mylog.$$ 2>&1
echo "this is from STDOUT\n"
print -u2 "this is from STDERR\n"

This tests to see if a terminal (for STDIN) is associated with the process. If not, it is assumed that all output should be redirected to a file.

Regards!
