Greetings Wilfred!

Thursday January 12 2023 15:30, you wrote to me about an urgent matter!:

 WV>  * Forwarded from area 'BINKD'
 WV> Hi Rick,

 WV> On 2023-01-12 05:44:34, you wrote to me:

 WV>>>>>>> {
 WV>>>>>>>   echo "processsing"
 WV>>>>>>>   echo "PATH = $PATH";
 WV>>>>>>>   echo "SHELL = $SHELL";
 WV>>>>>>>   /usr/local/bin/hpt toss

 WV>>>>>>> } >/tmp/test.txt 2>&1

 WV>>>>>>> So you can see everything that is written to stdout and
 WV>>>>>>> stderr

 RS>>>>>> I am giving this a go thankyou... Where will I see the errors
 RS>>>>>> from it?  I am unfamiliar with stdout and stderr..

 WV>>>>> It is what the software normally outputs to the console screen
 WV>>>>> (normal and errors). It's now redirected to the /tmp/test.txt
 WV>>>>> file...

 RS>>>> ok, still not tossing but now the test.txt isnt being created
 RS>>>> with the script above that you suggested?

 WV>>> Does it work on the commandline, and creating the /tmp/test.txt
 WV>>> file?

 RS>> works fine on command line.. I noticed that it ran last night at

 WV> And what was in the /tmp/test.txt file after it ran?

I rebuilt husky and all is fine now... wish I had started there, thank you for
all your help
