Bash script and Cron

Asked by TSRich01 in Linux Programming, Linux Administration

Tags: Linux Bash

I have a bash script that I wrote.  It works fine when I execute it from the shell.  However, when I run the script via Cron it is not giving me the correct information.  My curiosity is that I use things like > filename to put stuff in new files.  Is there a way to make this work correctly?Start Free Trial
