   Greetings Wilfred!   
      
   Thursday January 12 2023 15:30, you wrote to me about an urgent matter!:   
      
    WV>  * Forwarded from area 'BINKD'   
    WV> Hi Rick,   
      
    WV> 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   
    WV>>>>>>> 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   
    WV>>> 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   
      
    WV> And what was in the /tmp/test.txt file after it ran?   
      
    WV> And you should probably change the > to >> so the output of previous   
    WV> runs don't get overwritten. And change the 'echo "processing"' to   
    WV> 'date +"%F %T%tprocessing"', so you can put a timestamp on when things   
    WV> are happening.   
      
   I rebuilt husky and all is fine now... wish I had started there, thank you for   
   all your help
