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?
*/1 * * * * echo hello >/var/test-`date +%a`.txt
