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.
