Hello, I am trying to generate through the use of crontab an output relative to a time span covering the last day only. That implies that I should not only specify the time for the program to be run (in my case every day at 23:59), but that the report should cover only the last 24 hours. >From the telnet prompt, the output of command `date +%y-%m-%d' is `00-03-02' for the date of 2-mar-2000. I have tryed to invoke Analog from inside cron filling out options +F (from) and +T (to) with the date command above, but I do not know if that is possible. Check the line I have embedded into crontab: 59 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/virtual /www/analog4.01/analog +g/www/analog4.01/my_config_file.cfg +O- +a +F`date +%y-%m-%d`:0000 +T`%y-%m-%d`:2359 And the output error messages from Analog: No job control in subshells. No job control in subshells. /www/analog4.01/analog: Warning C: Invalid FROM string :0000: ignoring it (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) /www/analog4.01/analog: Warning C: Invalid TO string :2359: ignoring it And then follows the report, covering *not only* the date of 02/mar/2000, but all dates before that which are present in my log file. Any ideas of how should be the right way to get the system date and input it as a parameter to Analog???
