FW: Cron <rs@cyndi> /home/rs/build/Test-Smoke/smoke.sh

Here's the output of my first attempt at running smoke.sh from crontab.

It wiped my entire home directory because /home/rs/build/perl-smoke
didn't exist, so the cd failed.

Oops.

Just finished recovering from Mar 2001 backups of said directory.

So, um, if the build directory doesn't exist, it will rsync --delete
perl-current/ $HOME if run from crontab.  This can't be good.

R.
