I have several openbsd 4.4 boxes, all of which are running
spamd. I have a cron job which runs a script, which has the
following commands in it:
-----
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
FIELDNUM=6
echo oldest spamdb grey entries:
spamdb | grep ^GREY | sort -t \| -k $FIELDNUM -n | head
echo
echo oldest spamdb grey entry date timestamp:
DATEINSECONDS=`spamdb | grep ^GREY | sort -t \| -k $FIELDNUM -n | head -1 | cut
-d\| -f$FIELDNUM`
date -r $DATEINSECONDS
-----
The purpose of the script is to show me the oldest entries
in the spamdb.
This is the output (with destination domains replaced with 'domain'):

uname -a produces 'OpenBSD yosemite.surfutopia.net 4.4 GENERIC.MP#844 i386'
I have read the associated man pages. I have searched the
search engines. I was not able to find anything to try to
fix this.
I am sure this has something to do with terminals or ttys,
or something like that. Or it could just be I am dumping
the additional data spit out by sort and sort can't handle
that, from within cron. I am hoping this is just something
stupid I am doing wrong that is easy to fix.
Please point me in the direction to find the solution for
this issue. Thanks in advance!
