Another thought (fetches data from 1st file, you can do anything you like in the loop with each file expanded from *).
No need to change IFS as for "knows" about the expansion
Code:
runFolder="$parentFolder""/../Run""$runNumber""*/" # traverse up one directory
valFile="$runFolder""valid"
for x in $valFile
do
[ -f "$x" ] && valid=$(<"$x") || valid="V"
break
done
How can I redirect and append stdout and stderr to a file when using cron? Here is my crontab file:
*/5 * * * * /dir/php /dir/process_fns.php >>& /dir/dump.txt
Cron gives me an 'unexpected character found in line' when trying to add my crontab file.

Dear all,
redirecting STDOUT & STDERR to file is quite simple, I'm currently using:
exec 1>>/tmp/tmp.log; exec 2>>/tmp/tmp.logBut during script execution I would like the output come back again to screen, how to do that?
Thanks

aliases - aliases file for sendmail
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The command (which is the same as see sendmail(1M)) builds the sendmail alias database from a text file. The default text file is Local
addresses (local user names) are looked up in the alias database and expanded as necessary, unless the user name is preceded by a backslash
When the aliases file contains multiple entries for a given alias, only the last entry is used. Except when the processing option (the
send to me option) is set in the command or in the configuration file, the sender is not included in any alias expansions. For example, if
sends a message to and the expansion of includes the message is not delivered to
Each line of the alias text file must be of the form:
Mailing lists can be continued onto multiple lines. Each continuation line must begin with white space. Lines beginning with # are com-
ments.
A mailing-list is a comma-separated list of one or more of the following:
user-name Local user names occurring in alias expansions will themselves be looked up in the alias database unless
they are preceded by backslash
remote-address The remote address syntax understood by is configured in the configuration file, and typically includes the
RFC-822-style and the UUCP-style
filename This must be an absolute path name. appends a message to the file only if the directory in which it
resides is readable and searchable by all, and only if the file already exists, is not executable, and is
writable by all.
pipes the message as standard input to the specified command.
If command-line contains blanks, it must be enclosed in quotation marks (). For example,
reads filename for a list of recipient addresses and forwards the message to each. For example, an alias such
as:
would read for the list of addresses making up the group.
If a file named exists in a user's home directory and is owned by the user, redirects mail for that user to the list of addresses in the
file.
An address in a or file can be anything that can appear as a mailing-list in the alias text file.
can run programs or write to files using file. This is controlled by the file. If the owner of the file lacks a valid shell as listed in
file, the execution of such programs will be disallowed. The user can still execute such programs by placing the special string in the
file.
The alias database is examined before a recipient's file is examined. After aliasing has been done, local and valid recipients who have a
file in their home directory will have messages forwarded to the list of users defined in that file.
Aliasing occurs only on local names. Loops can not occur, since no message will be sent to any person more than once.
Aliases defined in will NOT be expanded in headers from (see mailx(1)), but WILL be visible over networks and in headers from (see
mail(1)).
is only the raw data file. The actual aliasing information is placed into a binary format in the file using (see newaliases(1M)).
A command should be executed each time the file is changed in order for the change to take effect. Note that the NIS alias maps are gener-
ated by using which leaves and in the directory.
