Hi all,

            I have the following in a cron job    

/usr/bin/rsync -ub --suffix=~$(date +%F) /Data/Jobs/ /Data/Backups/Jobs/
-razv --no-whole-file  --ignore-errors -partial

 

Problem is that when the command is run on the command line everything
works. However, when its in a cron job it fails with the following,

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

 

Anyone seen this before or able to put some light on the problem?

 

 

Thanks

Jason Cox
