Odd 'head' problem

2006-06-15 Thread Dennis Putnam
I'm not exactly sure this is what happened but I can't think of anything else. After installing several packages from CPAN, my daily log maintenance began failing. After some investigation I found that '/etc/periodic/daily/500.daily' was getting an error from the '/usr/ bin/head' command.

Thanks, for letting me know I am not nuts. Unfortunately, I've already replaced the wrong one with the right one. I guess I need to get the perl version from somewhere so I can rename it. Do you know which package contains that version? Thanks. On Jun 15, 2006, at 7:31 AM, Andy Holyer

You are (probably) correct. Its one of the web related cpan packages. LWP maybe, or something similar. It actually installs a command named HEAD rather than head, IIRC, but on a case insensitive file system, these are pretty much the same thing ... On 15 Jun 2006, at 12:22, Dennis

I don't recall those questions at all, however it is not at all obvious that 'HEAD' is going to replace 'head'. I'm not sure I understand the earlier comment about case insensitive filesystems. Certainly, OS X is not case insensitive at the CLI level, although 'Finder' is. However, PERL is
