This looks perfectly normal to me. Furthermore, that is exactly the way
I do it myself. Here are the crontab lines for my rundigs, since I have
two sites to index:
0 4 * * 5 /export/home3/htdig/bin/rundig.uqam
0 5 * * 5 /export/home3/htdig/bin/rundig.regis
This works very well, but, I do not get any mail from htdig. If you'd
like the results mail, I guess you should pipe the command to mail? I
don't think you need to redirect the output. I can't remember exactly, but
Unix redirects commands to some tty when you don't actually have one.
You could also redirect it to /dev/null if you will.
Cheers,
Erik.
