SOLVED - Using bc in Bash script

[Charles Howse]

Got it going.

Instead of running daily_report from cron, I will now run the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# Time and run the Daily_report

\time -ho /root/tmp.time ~/bin/daily_report

cat /root/tmp.time | cut -f 2 | cut -c 1-4 >> /root/daily.log

cat /root/daily.log | mail -s "Daily Report from Larry" charles
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

Here's what I get in the mail, note the very last line is the output
from \time:
