Thanks so much guys! I went with Andre's 'curl' suggestion since I don't know
the path to the livecode server engine.

If you don't want toe first line #! to output you can do another method.
Use a shell script with #!/bin/bash (wherever bash resides)
then /path/to/livecode scripttorun
Otherwise (unless they've changed things in the recent versions) lc will
output the #! line as part of the output.

You can also create a lc script and call it with curl such as
curl http://myserver/mycron.lc
This way, you don't need to know the path to the engine.

Hi Phil,
A cron job needs a correct terminal command. If you can type it in your
terminal (e.g. over ssh) and don't need to enter a password and other
additional information then you can also use it as a cron job. I wonder if
it would work if you start your script with
#!/path/to/lc/server
<?lc put "Hello World" ?>
A cgi script should include a path too:
#!/path/to/cgi/engine
put "hello world"

Hi folks,
Have you succeeded in using a .lc script as the thing to be run in a
cron job on the on-rev server? I tried it but am apparently not holding my
mouth right. I get a syntax error on line 1: the "<?lc " tag. I tried using
.lc and .cgi as the file extension with equal non-success.
I even reverted to trying to run a .cgi script with Rev 3.5 as the
engine and no joy there either.
Thanks for any wisdom you may share on the subject.
