Logging from cron

[Tim]

Hi Tim,

That worked.  Thanks!!!

BTW, sorry about the automated message from my anti-spam system.  I didn't realize that replies would include an individual subscriber's email.  So I quickly created a separate email address for this list without the spam trap.

Thanks again,
Tim
