Thanks.
Did not see /var/log/cron.
/var/log/messages only showed a restart.
my script:
#
#ksfr
#
clear
#
streamripper http://pubint.ic.llnwd.net/stream/pubint_ksfr -l 7205 -t
My crontab:
0 0 * * 4 /home/bb/KSFR/ksfr_script
I tried setting the crontab to use a range but it gave me a file every
minute instead of one long file.
