As cron generally uses /bin/sh as the shell (set near the top of /etc/crontab) you could have used /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org 2>/dev/null instead of /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org >/dev/null and I believe you could also extend it to 2>/dev/null > /dev/null _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
