[Perl-unix-users] Syntax checking in crontab

[Arijit Das]

Appologies for asking this question in a Perl forum..But I expect lots of UNIX experts here...so am posting this question.

 

Is there a way I can have the syntax of my crontab file checked in a Solaris System?

 

Basically, I have a crontab file which looks perfect to me syntactically but I get mails saying that:

 

Your "crontab" on abhay2

 

 

!

unexpected end of line

 

Here is the content of my crontab file:

abhay2> crontab -l
## Added for testing if Syncing happens properly for Regressions testcases with new script
00 20 * * * /u/regress/INFRA_HOME/perforce/SyncSnapshots.csh -regr -b VCS7_1 -r /u/regress/p4_snapshots/nightly71 -l /u/regress/perforce/Regress/71sync.log ...

 

04 20 * * * /u/regress/INFRA_HOME/perforce/Regress/syncSnapshots -r 72

20 20 * * * /u/regress/INFRA_HOME/perforce/SyncSnapshots.csh -regr -b VCS7_1 -r /u/regress/p4_snapshots/Causes/VCS7_1 -l /u/regress/perf## Added for testing if Syncing happens properly for Regressions testcases with new script

 

Anybody faced this before...?

 

Thanks,

Arijit
