Hi,

Can someone tell me how I can get cron to display a message of what it is 
doing when a script is executed? Here is a script which I put my cron.daily 
directory: 

#!/bin/sh
#
# mirror.sh: Mirror the /home partition to a second hard drive.
#
# mirrordir can be found at:
# http://www.obsidian.co.za/mirrordir/
# ftp://lava.obsidian.co.za/pub/linux/mirrordir
#
echo "Backing up home directory to /mnt/rk/Linux/home.."
mirrordir /home/happy /mnt/rk/Linux/home

I would like cron to display the message "Backing up home direc...." 
Currently it does not.

Rodney
