    Here we go...
    With this when its complete "dave4" is truncated.
    However if I issue
    /usr/local/bin/msgview > /tmp/dave4
    Outside of a script, /tmp/dave4 will not be truncated.
    thanks

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    #set -vx
    .. /home/d_build/.profile
    export LIBPATH=......
    /usr/local/bin/msgview > /tmp/dave
    sleep 5
    sort /tmp/dave -o /tmp/dave2
    uniq /tmp/dave2 /tmp/dave3
    cat /tmp/dave3 >/tmp/dave4

    I've done a very simple test on one of my 4.3.3 systems and I didn't
    have
    any problems: it successfully created an output file with lines of over
    80
    characters length.

    Could it be a problem with your shell environment?
    Can you show us the salient parts of the script?

How are you getting the cron output?  Are you redirecting the script to
a
file still, or relying on the output being mailed to you?

Subject: Script question
When I run a korn shell script,interactively, and redirect it to a file,
for
a program that produces 120 byte output lines, it displays all 120 bytes
in
the file no problem.
Example: myscript>/tmp/thefile.
However if I run it via a cron entry, the output  is  truncated to 80
bytes.
I tried putting stty cols120 in the script, to no avail. Any other
insight?
