Crontab not work
I have a crontab in fedora 17 with command
13 10 * * * /home/pk1/Templates/dump.sh
In dump.sh
#!/bin/sh
mysqldump --host=localhost --user=root --password=toor mba_new | gzip > /home/pk1/Templates/`date +"webt-backup_%m-%d-%y"`.gz
In log file have an error
Mar 25 10:13:01 area7 crond[31770]: (*system*) RELOAD (/etc/crontab)
Mar 25 10:13:01 area7 crond[31770]: (CRON) bad command (/etc/crontab)
if I run through terminal
sh dump.sh
everything is ok
Why my dump.sh not work through crontab? Thanks
