Now, the variable is set up up correctly in the script too. When I run the script myself, the file pointed at in $sFullFilePath is populated correctly.
However, when this is run using crontab on the identical directory (debug code proves this), it just creates an empty file.
When I look at the stack, it doesn't mention the output. Is crontab treating it as 2 seperate lines? The script starts with #!/bin/bash, so why should it act differently?
This can be ignored. Took a look at the script in Notepad++. looks like the line in question had a few strange characters chucked in randomly. Works a treat now.
Here is my script
LOGDATE=`date '+%Y-%m-%d %k:%M' | cut -c1-15`
echo $LOGDATE
echo "grep '$LOGDATE' /tmp/logs/vel.log >10min_log"
grep '$LOGDATE' /tmp/logs/vel.log>10min_log
grep '$LOGDATE' /tmp/logs/vel.logHere is the output of the script
