Hello Marc,
I had some problems with converting case with 'tr' the way you have
done.
I had a tr [a-z] [A-Z]. When I execute
date +%A|tr [a-z] [A-Z]
it gives me XXXXX instead of the proper day in upper case. This happens
only when I use this inside a cron-job. From the command-line it works
fine.
Later, I changed the tr arguments to
tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
And, it started working in the cron-job without any garbled output.
Can someone figure out why it used to give that kind of output in the
cronjob at first ?
