Hi, When started by cron, the following crashes: * * * * * /bin/date 'Hello %c' complaining about cannot find endquote If you try * * * * * /bin/date 'Hello \%c' the backslash appears in the output bur forestalls the error. What is going on please? Jim Donovan Office +61+2-8923-5208 Home +61+2-9416-8459 Cell +61-428-609-208 Pager +61+2-9966-7915=20
