The following line appears in the standard /usr/lib/crontab
(/srvd/usr/lib/crontab):
40 4,22 * * * root csh -fc "(echo ' ========'; date; cd /site;find . -xdev '(' -name '#*' -o -name '.#*' -o -name '*~' -o -name core ')' -a -atime +3 -a -exec rm -f {} ';' -print >>& /usr/adm/findlog)"
If you look carefully at this, you will notice that ======== and the
date are lost and the result of the find is put in findlog. This can
be fixed by putting the closed parenthesis in the right place:
40 4,22 * * * root csh -fc "(echo ' ========'; date; cd /site;find . -xdev '(' -name '#*' -o -name '.#*' -o -name '*~' -o -name core ')' -a -atime +3 -a -exec rm -f {} ';' -print) >>& /usr/adm/findlog"
To save you from too much trouble, I will mention that I moved the
parenthesis from after the word "findlog" to after "-print".
