Hi,
This question is not on Solaris but its Unix Related.
We are trying to add the contab entry on Redhat Linux 8.0. The entry works
find in command line but in cron we are getting following error message.
cron entry:
59 17 * * * "/home/ptce/mer.sh . $(date +%d) > /tmp/mer.$(date +%d) 2>>
/ptce/log/cron.log"
Error message by E-mail:
Subject: Cron <xx@xxe> /home/ptce/mer.sh . $(date +
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/ptce>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=xxx>
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
we are executing command line like this.
sh-2.05b$ /home/ptce/mer.sh . $(date +%d) > /tmp/mer.$(date +%d) 2>>
/ptce/log/cron.log
sh-2.05b$
Any idea why we are getting this error message.
Thanks
