/path/to/files/*$ddate* is expanded on the calling host i.e. the destination host.
Quote the * characters to expand on the source host.
/path/to/files/\*$ddate\* or
/path/to/files/"*$ddate*" or
"/path/to/files/*$ddate*"
Note that within the " (double quotes) the $ddate is still expanded on the calling host.

Users who desire to have their .profile executed must explicitly do so in the crontab entry. Why?

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)

rcp

RCP(1C) 																   RCP(1C)

NAME

       rcp - remote file copy

SYNOPSIS

       rcp [ -p ] file1 file2
       rcp [ -p ] [ -r ] file ... directory

DESCRIPTION

       Rcp  copies  files  between  machines.  Each file or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form ``rhost:path'', or a local
       file name (containing no `:' characters, or a `/' before any `:'s).

       If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in  this  case  the
       destination must be a directory.

       By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modified by the umask(2)
       on the destination host is used.  The -p option causes rcp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its  copies  the  modification	times  and
       modes of the source files, ignoring the umask.

       If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to your login directory on rhost.  A path on a remote host may be quoted (using
       , ", or ') so that the metacharacters are interpreted remotely.

       Rcp does not prompt for passwords; your current local user name must exist on rhost and allow remote command execution via rsh(1C).

       Rcp handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the  current  machine.   Hostnames	may  also  take  the  form
       ``rname@rhost''	to  use  rname	rather	than  the  current  user name on the remote host.  The destination hostname may also take the form
       ``rhost.rname'' to support destination machines that are running 4.2BSD versions of rcp.

SEE ALSO

       cp(1), ftp(1C), rsh(1C), rlogin(1C)

BUGS

       Doesn't detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
       Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .login, .profile, or .cshrc file on the remote host.
