I have this as a part of my script: $ncfile = `ls -1 $mersea_cat | head -1`; print $ncfile;
It prints the desired first file in $mersea_cat, but _before_ that the ls command prints an errormessage to stderr: ls: write error: Broken pipe I do not get this error when I run the command/script by hand. The error message suggests it has something to do with the pipe, but since this is only reproducable when *run in a cronjob* I really don't know what the error might be. Even if I get the error it works perfectly (even though my output email is havin _a lot_ of these lines).
