   Hi Rick,   
      
   On 2023-01-12 05:44:34, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>>>>> {   
    WV>>>>>>   echo "processsing"   
    WV>>>>>>   echo "PATH = $PATH";   
    WV>>>>>>   echo "SHELL = $SHELL";   
    WV>>>>>>   /usr/local/bin/hpt toss   
      
    WV>>>>>> } >/tmp/test.txt 2>&1   
      
    WV>>>>>> So you can see everything that is written to stdout and stderr   
      
    RS>>>>> I am giving this a go thankyou... Where will I see the errors   
    RS>>>>> from it?  I am unfamiliar with stdout and stderr..   
      
    WV>>>> It is what the software normally outputs to the console screen   
    WV>>>> (normal and errors). It's now redirected to the /tmp/test.txt   
    WV>>>> file...   
      
    RS>>> ok, still not tossing but now the test.txt isnt being created   
    RS>>> with the script above that you suggested?   
      
    WV>> Does it work on the commandline, and creating the /tmp/test.txt file?   
      
    RS> works fine on command line.. I noticed that it ran last night at   
    RS> midnight on one packet but /in was still full of pkts... Crazy   
      
   And what was in the /tmp/test.txt file after it ran?   
      
   And you should probably change the > to >> so the output of previous runs   
   don't get overwritten. And change the 'echo "processing"' to 'date +"%F   
   %T%tprocessing"', so you can put a timestamp on when things are happening.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
