I run a script from the command line like so:
/home/user/data-transfer/swap/fetch_swap_swavint.sh >>/home/user/data-transfer/logs/swap_swavint.`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M"`.log 2>&1
Everything works as expected. However when launching from the crontab like so:
0 19 * * * /home/user/data-transfer/swap/fetch_swap_swavint.sh >>/home/user/data-transfer/logs/swap_swavint.`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M"`.log 2>&1
I get the following errors:
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
If it works from the command line shouldn't it work from crontab. Do I miss some escaping or quotes somewhere?
Thanks for pointers.
