Crontab problem on 4.2
I have the following entry in the crontable:
5 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/dateV '+%m%d' > /usr/adm/yesterday
"dateV" is the 4.2 "date" command taken from SystemV.
I expected to see:
MMDD (where: MM - month, DD - day)
in /usr/adm/yesterday, however, I get the following when I "cat"
/usr/adm/yesterday:
[ blank line ]
m
d
Why ??
Thanks in advance.
