Pipelining output of a perl script to a results file using Crontab

Hey guys,

I have a perl script that uses SNMP to query a wireless access point and retieve data from the device. I want to output the results of the script to a results file everday at 6PM. I used crontab to do that. This is the code in the file

0 18 * * * /home/hyperion/k/kilambis/Project/execute

Execute is a shell script that has the following code

#!/bin/bash

perl -w /home/hyperion/k/kilambis/Project/snmpproj > /home/hyperion/k/kilambis/P
roject/results1.txt

cat /home/hyperion/k/kilambis/Project/results1.txt >> /home/hyperion/k/kilambis/P
roject/results.txt

When this is executed for some reason the code of my Perl Script also gets appended to results.txt. Does anyone know whats going on?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Sai.

imo the probl is in 'snmpproj'
why you first write 'result1' and then append it to 'result' ?
