Ftp bash script appends to file using cron instead of coping new file
I have a bash script that is running a mysql query and creating a csv file with a time stamp. It then uploads that to a ftp server. Everything works great when I manually run it. But then I have a cron job set to run every monday, wednesday and friday at 5am est. When the cron job runs, it appends to the last file. For example, the file that ran wednesday is called 15-07-08_report.csv. On Friday the cron job runs and instead of creating a new file called 15-07-10_report.csv, it just appends to the file called 15-07-08_report.csv. If I run it manually without the cron job, the bash script will create a new file on the ftp server called 15-07-10_report.csv and leave the file from wednesday. That what I want to happen when the cron job runs.

bash script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#DB server details

server_ip='mysql_server.com';

db_user='user';
db_pass='password';
db_name='db_name';


#Delete all previous csv files

rm *.csv

#create new file

csv_file="$(date -d now +%y-%m-%d)_report.csv";

touch $csv_file

#Query to be execute in MySql and save data in csv file

mysql -u$db_user -p$db_pass -h$server_ip < /var/www/html/tools/report-script/report.sql $db_name | sed 's/\t/","/g;s/^/"/;s/$/"/;s/\n//g' >> $csv_file

#Open FTP and put files there
echo "start ftp"

#Your FTP IP or URL
HOST="ftp.upload.com"

#FTP user name
USER="user_me"
echo "pass"
#FTP user password
PASSWD="my_pass"

echo "change"

#Change to directory where the original csv file is located

cd /var/www/html/tools/report-script

echo "transfer file"
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD

!#Folder on the FTP server you want to save to.  By default it will save to the user's home directory
cd /folder

!# Turn off prompting yes or no to transfer file
prompt

!#copies the cvs file to ftp server
mput *.csv

quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

cron job:
Code:
0 5 * * 1,3,5 /var/www/html/tools/report-script/test_report.sh

Any help is much appreciated. I can't figure out why the behavior would be different by using cron to run the script vs running it manually. Thanks!

pmdamysql

PMDAMYSQL(1)						       Performance Co-Pilot						      PMDAMYSQL(1)

NAME

       pmdamysql - MySQL database PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdamysql is a Performance Co-Pilot PMDA which extracts live performance data from a running MySQL database.

INSTALLATION

       pmdamysql uses a configuration file from (in this order):

       o   /etc/pcpdbi.conf

       o   $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/mysql.conf

       This file can contain overridden values (Perl code) for the settings listed at the start of pmdamysql.pl, namely:

       o   database name (see DBI(3) for details)

       o   database user name

       o   database pass word

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the mysql performance metrics by doing the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql
	       # ./Remove

       pmdamysql is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.	The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

Binary Status values in text
       Some of the status values are in the form of YES/NO or ON/OFF.

       Since these cannot be intepreted by tools like PMIE, they have been duplicated with a _num extension and the values of 1 (YES/ON) or 0
       (NO/OFF).

   Eg:
       o   mysql.slave_status.slave_io_running

       o   mysql.slave_status.slave_io_running_num

FILES

       /etc/pcpdbi.conf
	   configuration file for all PCP database monitors

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/mysql.conf
	   configuration file for pmdamysql

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/Install
	   installation script for the pmdamysql agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/mysql/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdamysql agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/mysql.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdamysql
