I keep getting the following error message in my mailbox from cron: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' /bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file What am I doing wrong? I was able to run the cron job without the time stamp, but now I really would like to add it and I don't seem to be having much luck. I think its the backtics that are giving me the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
