I currently ru FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a couple of machines. I am trying to
set up an automated procedure to transfer some files from one machine to
another at regular time intervals using a crontab.
But I can't make it work, and wonderedif you can tell me where I am
going wrong.
I have set up a .netrc file which looks like
machine panther.uwo.ca login whocking password ________ macdef action
and I have defined a file called "action" which says
cd dir1
ls
put testst.txt
quit
--- which is my underatanding of the correct procedure.
But I get a message
"Macro definition missing null line terminator"
I have no idea what this means, or what to do about it - or even
whether I have dome something competely wrong.
Any suggestions?
tks Wayne Hocking
