Incomplete output from crontab email: running shell scripts from a perl script
I am running a perl script from my crontab. The perl script that I
run executes shell scripts at the command line. My crontab sends me
the output from this perl script that runs shell scripts. However, if
I run the shell scripts directly from the crontab itself I get a
different output (the output that I want).
Why would a perl script that runs a shell script give me a different
"cron job" output then the shell script itself?
I don't think it is a perl problem but I am running the shell scripts
from perl with the following command: `$shell_script`.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
