Hi folks, I'm using a Debian unstable, and just moved a crontab like this from another Redhat-based system:
WEEK_DAY=`date +\%A` 30 23 * * * mount /backup && mysqldump --password=FOOBAR --all-databases > /backup/alldb-${WEEK_DAY}.sql; umount /backup It's been working on RH system, but the Debian cron keeps refusing to do command expansion on WEEK_DAY, i.e. the script produces a file named: alldb-`date +\%A`.sql Any hint? Thanks in advance. PS: plz kindly CC me. -- Regards, Isaac () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ - against microsoft attachments -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
