Quote problem?

Have you tested this? Don't you need to escape the double quotes in q/"`hostname` daily output"/?

Yes, you do need to escape the quotes by preceding them with backslashes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Fix the #$^%&* GeekLog Bug!!!
Authored by: thinkyhead on Mar 12, '02 04:18:17AM

I'm going to keep pointing this out until Rob or somebody at Mac OS X Hints fixes it: Backslashes are being eaten by GeekLog! Somewhere in the GeekLog code there's a misplaced "stripslashes" command that has caused many many scripts posted here to be broken and useless. The fix would take 5 minutes. Unfortunately going back and fixing all the scripts stored in the database is going to take a lot longer.
