Subject: Executing a script on Cron and produces ctrl-m
Hi,
I would like to seek your help regarding the behavior of running a shell script
manually and via cron in Cygwin.
I made a simple bash script that execute hostname command, assign it to a
variable and write it on the logfile.
xhostname=`hostname`
echo "`date`| ${xhostname}*" >> /some/folder/logfile.log
When I manually execute the script, the expected output is ok. But when I
execute it via cron, it added a "Control-M" after it returned the hostname
value. May I know how I will address the issue?

Because cron is executing the Windows version of hostname.
Type: which -a hostname
Check your $PATH.
