[Perl-unix-users] Syntax checking in crontab
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 script00 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 ## New Crons for Syncing Causes Files20 20 * * * /u/regress/INFRA_HOME/perforce/SyncSnapshots.csh -regr -b TD -r /u/regress/p4_snapshots/Causes/TD -l /u/regress/perforce/Regress/Causes_TD_sync.log CausesDir/...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...?

RE: [Perl-unix-users] Syntax checking in crontab
Just a guess, but... lines in unix text files must all end in a newline. If you edited the crontab in Windows, it may have left off the final newline unless you specifically hit Enter at the end of the last line.

[Perl-unix-users] running ssh commands remotely in Perl
Any thoughts? I'm looking for a "best practices". Basically, i'm on foo.org, and need to automate ssh bar.org, and executea command or two, then copy the file from that server, then delete it. I'd also like to not use 3rd party mods as much as possible.-- Anthony EttingerSignature: http://chovy.dyndns.org/hcard.html ___ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list Perl-Unix-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
