Hey....I had an error with a built-in cron job a few days ago and
someone told me I had an extra carriage-return in there, so I nuked
it. Now it tells me "unexpected end of file." (below is the EXACT
quote...):

Here's the cron job:
#!/bin/sh
[ -e /usr/bin/updatedb ] && { sh /usr/bin/updatedb } || {
/usr/bin/slocate -u -e /tmp -e "/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net,/proc"
}
============
What's the problem with this??? Why does it say unexpected end of
file?
Thanks...
John
