Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I don't mean to sound snippy, but I do intend to be brusquely honest.
Maybe next time you could /read/ a post before responding to it... I know how to 'man 5 crontab'. And I believe I made this perfectly clear. To quote myself:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><hr /><font size="" face="">I am familiar with setting up cron jobs. My problem is that I cannot get the script to run in the first place.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Again, I usually avoid curtness at all costs, as I find it to be a distasteful quality. I certainly don't troll, or start flamefests. However, I must call you out on this one - I am aware of the "it's just a clueless newbie - send him off to RTFM and he'll go away" tactic. I've pulled that one myself. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> But never when it's blatantly obvious from the CONTEXT of the post in question that this isn't an applicable strategy, and that the problem isn't one of not properly reading the documentation.
I even illustrated that I DID read the documentation in my original post!
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><hr /><font size="" face="">
Here's what I did:
· Installed the appropriate Perl Modules as per instructions
· Edited w3tvars.pm as instructed
· Edited the unshift lines in subscriptions.pl and doexpire.pl
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">tsk tsk. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
I hope that didn't come out too jerkified.
