FreeBSD 10.1 Periodic Errors

Sorry the first time I sent this it didn't get to the list.

Yes there was something suspicious, part of the comment got on to a
new line so it thought it needed to be executed.  I have fixed this
and I am pretty sure that I have fixed it.  I will check on the status
of the script tomorrow after it runs.  Its always the smallest thing
that makes the biggest problem.

Thank you for your assistance
