[on-rev] LC cron jobs?

[Mike Bonner]

If you don't want toe first line #! to output you can do another method.
Use a shell script with #!/bin/bash (wherever bash resides)
then /path/to/livecode scripttorun

Otherwise (unless they've changed things in the recent versions) lc will
output the  #! line as part of the output.
