This is the command: /usr/local/sbin/lynx-dyn.sh >> /var/log/lynx_dns_update.log In the script (amongst other things), I have lines like this: echo "Some meaningful output" The script runs and the commands execute but my logfile never shows the echo command output. Can anyone tell me why and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
