Thanks, but I'm not launching it from my own crontab and don't think it's a good idea to mess with the system crontab. For some reason my brain drew a blank on the redirect pipe to add to my script to track the progress. Thanks to John and Gerald for pointing that out my Homer Simpson moment. ;')

How would I add logging to the script?

Most of my local crontab entries look something like:

30 5 * * * /path/to/script > /path/to/script.log 2>&1

Each time "script" runs, stdout and stderr are written to "script.log". _______________________________________________
