returns the following lines in email:

etc., etc....

Cron fired off two emails, five minutes apart, and now nothing for over 30
minutes.....

I'm lost, I'm frustrated, and like everything else I try to do in
Linux...I'll give this up after three days of banging my head against the
wall.....

Thanks for letting me rant.... =)
