Full Discussion: (standard_in)1:syntax error using bc with Cron

Sure it's bc? Pls show your cron entry, and also the contents of the celsius variable, and the step5 file.


Are your aware that most of your convoluted processing could be done in one single script, e.g. awk or perl?
Are there lines beyond 22 in the original file?
