Yes it is near to the same except your first lines command and 2 last lines
commands, my 2 last lines is used as the defailt for mbindex.
I got my crontab to work now with change its command line to be using:
export MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse; $MBSE_ROOT/etc/hello.sh
and it look to work that way adn I added in my hello.sh last to use
$HOME/bin/mbmsg post ....
I test it out and it works the text file is been posted as it shall by the cron
now.
Take care,
Gert
