Dear Dave,

this is my Hello example

pro test
print,'Hello'
end

IDL> .run test
IDL> save,file='/tmp/test.sav',/routines,/compress
IDL> idl -rt='/tmp/test.sav'

Installation number:
Licensed for use by:

Hello


And as cron job I got an error message



All arguments are good reasons but not for this simple code.
In the past the idl startup sequence and the word "Hello"
was printed into a mail.

Now it looks like idl -rt won't generally not start as cronjob,
because of a problem with <STDIN>. We do have another problem
sometimes with idlde and <STDIN>. May be this gives a hint what
is different to idl5.4.


At the moment I am helping me with a small script which is
piped into an idl session.

Reimar
