Script won't run
I have a script in /scripts/ which is where I keep my scripts. Individually, every command works. It is a simple script containing:
chown -R --reference=/data/<path1>/<file> /data/<path1>/<file_name>
mv /data/<path1>/<file_name> /data/<path2>/<file_name>_$(date +%F-%H:%M)
But I can not get it to run or can not get it to run successfully in crontab:
15 07 * * 1,6,7 /scripts/name_of_script.sh
or
15 07 * * Mon,Sat,Sun /scripts/name_of_script.sh
Can anybody tell me if there is something wring with my crontab entry (either format) or something else that would stop it running?
Who is the owner of the script (should be admin, not root, I believe) and did you set the execute bit on it?
