Hi friends, Recently I put into my crontab the following line 4 0 */10 * * /usr/bin/tar -cyf /backup/lab.`date "+%d%m%Y"`.tar.bz /lab But although I can execute the command into my shell, crond refuses to execute and send me an email saying: <<Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution>> What am I doing wrong? I suspect that my problem relies on having a tcsh as my default shell, but crontab perhaps is running a different shell. Thanks in advance!
