Simple Bash Script
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but as I am new to bash shell scripting I'm not sure what:

Here's the code

Quote:
#!/bin/bash

FILEDATE=`date -d yesterday '+%Y%m%d'`
YEARDATE=`date -d yesterday '+%Y'`
LOGFILE="/logs/sitename/$YEARDATE/access$FILEDATE.log"
webalizer -c webalizer.conf $LOGFILE
webalizer.conf is sitting in the same directory as this file which is named webalizer.sh. Can someone tell me if I've got the syntax right -- it that's correct? I'm executing the file as root with sh ./webalizer.sh. webalizer -c file file executes correctly when I manually insert the variable values. The goal is to get this to run through cron.

Thanks!
