-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I wrote a script that puts portions of various logfiles into a text file to mail to me using cron. The script looks like echo '' > filename.txt echo '*****System Log*****' >> filename.txt tail -n 20 /var/log/messages >> filename.txt The above commands are repeated for other logs, in the same script, except that the first line uses ">>" to append to the existing file. I created the target file using 'touch' and gave world read/write to avoid permission problems. But when the script is run, the output goes to "filename.txt?" instead of "filename.txt". What gives? -- Anthony E.
