Okay, now I am trying your idea Tim. Here is the current contents of my
files:

rsync_demo.sh:
----begin---------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/freeware/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/jerry/bin

rsync -avr
distro.ibiblio.org::distros/slackware/slackware-10.0/patches/packages/
/home/jerry/downloads/slackware/10.0/patches/packages/

exit 0
----end----------------------------------------------------------
Note: vim wrapped the rsync line into three lines above.


output of crontab -e
----begin-------------------------------------------------------
*/3 * * * * /usr/bin/getmail
*/4 * * * * /usr/bin/getmail --rcfile verizon
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/getmail --rcfile spamarrest
*/10 * * * *  /home/jerry/bin/rsync_demo.sh | /usr/bin/logger -t
"RSYNC_DEMO"
----end--------------------------------------------------------
Note: vim wrapped the last line above into two lines.
