Issue with redirecting output from crontab
Hello All,

I've scheduled one simple command to be run from crontab, but the command is failing to append the output to a file. Any issue in my syntax ? This rah cmd is working fine from command center.
Code:
19 09 * * * rah "df -m" | awk '{if (NF > 1) if ($5 ~ /NODE/) {print $0;}}' >> db.out 2>&1

Also I tried this cmd, no success when run from crontab.
Code:
19 09 * * * rah "df -m" | awk '{if (NF > 1) if ($5 ~ /NODE/) {print $0;}}' 1>> db.out

Output of this cmd-
Code:
                        557900    145666    384334  28% /db2fs/bculinux/NODE0000
                        557900    308082    221918  59% /db2fs/bculinux/NODE0001
                        557900    303013    226988  58% /db2fs/bculinux/NODE0002
                        557900    306023    223977  58% /db2fs/bculinux/NODE0003

Thanks,
Naresh

Can't you , put the below code in a script and then call the same from cron?

Code:
 cat > script.sh
rah "df -m" | awk '{if (NF > 1) if ($5 ~ /NODE/) {print $0;}}' 1>> db.out

Code:
19 09 * * * script.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
