- Hi,
-
- on an Indigo running IRIX 4.0.1 the following script runs as expected
- if submitted to 'cron'. However, if it is submitted to 'at' an error is
- returned.
-
- The script:
-
- #! /bin/csh -f
-
- set N=0
-
- while ($N < 9)
- @ N = $N + 1
- echo $N
- end
-
- If the script is submitted to 'at' by
-
- at now + 1 minute < script_name
-
- 'at' mails the following message to the invoker:
-
- sh: syntax error at line 32: `end of file' unexpected
-
-
- *************************************************
- Cron: The previous message is the standard output
- and standard error of one of your cron commands.
-
- Does anyone know what is going on here ? Thanks for any hints you might
- have.
-
- Regards
-
- Ralf Beyer
