I was trying to test a crontab job and, to see if it was executed, I tried
/bin/touch /tmp/file.`date +%Y%m%d` and
/bin/csh ; /bin/touch /tmp/filea.`date +%Y%m%d`
to create an empty file with a datestamp as its name.
It doesn't entirely work: files named file. and filea. are created, with
the expected creation time??
Issuing the touch command from the command line (in sh, and csh) works
fine.
Could someone tell me what dumb mistake I'm making?
