It is probably the redirection screwing things up, but you don't need it with cron. As long as you have cron configured to mail its output to you, you only need 45 6 * * * /usr/bin/glsa-check -l new or, as I prefer to only see the effects on installed packages 45 6 * * * /usr/bin/glsa-check -t all -- Neil Bothwick When there's a will, I want to be in it.
