-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi ! How can I have one big line in my crontab splitted in multiple lines ? I tried the following: 0 2 * * * command A && \ command B && \ command C But I get the following error message: /tmp/crontab.48pe18LXs2: 10 lines, 1344 characters. crontab: installing new crontab "/tmp/crontab.48pe18LXs2":9: bad hour crontab: errors in crontab file, can't install Do you want to retry the same edit? Note that if my crontab is written as: 0 2 * * * command A && command B && command C ... then it works with no problem. Thanks. - -- Antoine Jacoutot ajacoutot@lphp.org http://www.lphp.org gpg key: http://www.lphp.org/ressources/ajacoutot.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+2GyiY3Hnhkr+5cQRAvsLAJ4zZ9QqXyGcbe+pa8DxLISN/b1bSwCeIGyO SkytZ2OhVdCJtrl4+8PJuRw= =3Uxf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
