Hi I'm trying to redirect the output of a cron job to a file with the current day in the filename. The following demo works but includes the full date:
*/1 * * * * echo hello >/var/test-$(date).txt so I'm trying to pass the %a fomat string to 'date': */1 * * * * echo hello >/var/test-$(date +"%a").txt however this (and numerous other variations) don't work - any suggestions?
