Hey thanks Peter for clearing that up. Yes, I was taking the pipe and =
semicolon literally.
I have since found this out on my own that my original code works. It is =
as Richard and Bert had said.
My cron runs under the server admin user and so I have to contact my =
client to find out what that password is or change it.

Much thanks to everyone for your time and responses with my issue. You =
guys are invaluable!

Best,
