bash OK, Cron job not?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a strange problem I can't seem to figure out.  Maybe it's the
newbie in me. Below I have the following running in a cron job:

mail -s "LDM missing files totals: LDM1 `date +%D`" ....

Now, from bash this works perfectly, I get the date and everything.  But
from cron I get this:

> /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
> /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Can someone explain to me why?
