[nmglug] Digitemp,Crontab (syslog addendium)

[a]

Nick:
Thanks for the /dev/null suggestion alas did not solve the recalcitrant
crontab but did create an interesting number error message,caused by
auto warping of the editor,could not disable auto-warp but by expanding
the page size thus preventing the necessity for the line to warp the
error message went to /dev/null,ain't solving a problem grand even if
it's transitive,now I must delve further into that enigma they call "THE
CRONTAB".See you at the hamfest dinner. Antonio
