SUMMARY: cron script

[Gabel Martin]

Thanks everybody

Nearly everyone told me to user absolute calls for the date command
(/usr/bin/date).
The "stty" call produced the SIGTTOU since no stty is attached.
Therefore I modified the script:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/date +20%y-%m-%d > ~/date.txt

thankx again =)
