Any assistance with the following problem would be greatly
appreciated.
I have written a command file to automate connection to a remote
computer for a specific period in order to allow collection of
mail. The command file works fine if I run it thus:
kermit kermit_command_file
from the command line, hanging up at the end and exiting
kermit, but will not run as cron job. The error:
------
Your "cron" job
kermit blah > /home/me/junk
produced the following output:
sh: 25421 Memory fault - core dumped
--------
is mailed to me.
I have tried running the command from a shell script with all the
environmental variables - still no luck. Redirecting the
standard output as above does not help either.
Is this because I am not invoking kermit with the correct flags
in the cron job so that it does not have to be connected to a
terminal? Is my command script lacking some essential set
command that is required when not invoked from a terminal?
Any help and suggestions would be gratefully received.
I'm using C-Kermit 5A for SunOs 4.1.
Regards
Keith.
