Evan; I don't use "script" very often because it requires you be running in from a terminal. I have a lot of cron based scripts which I want to keep the output from, so I "rolled my own." Here is a VERY SMALL example, with NO ERROR CHECKING. But it shows you how you can do what you are wanting to do. Save this someplace, make it executable (of course) and stick it into your crontab in place of "script." Lee #!/bin/sh SFILE=$1 ; shift SCMD="$1" ; shift SREST="$*" ( echo "Starting $SCMD at `date '+%d-%h-%Y %H:%M:%S'`" $SCMD $SREST 2>&1 echo "Ending $SCMD at `date '+%d-%h-%Y %H:%M:%S'`" ) 1>$SFILE 2>&1
