Oops

All of you unix/linux folks should have noticed I made a mistake in the cron job code. The 5 indicates Friday, not Thursday. So I changed it to a 4 and it worked fine. At least I think it worked. I got my copy but I haven't heard from the teachers yet.

0 12 * * 4 (echo "This is an automated weekly email to check how Fern is doing in your class this week.";echo;echo "Thanks,"; echo "Anne";)|/bin/mail ... list of teachers and myself ...

I wish I knew how to do that. It sure would help me keep up with all these kids we got running around here. Do you have problems with teachers not responding?
