Ok, simple one... I have a script that has this:
#!/bin/bash
date=`date +%d`
if [ $date = "01" ]; then
# Run Monthly Backup
else
# Run Incremental Backup
fi
- From the man page of 'date':
%d day of month (e.g, 01)
And when I set it up last year, it did run a full on 11/01/2010. But
now it's not. Going to convert it to a numerical '-eq' comparison but
it's still got me wondering why it's picking the wrong date. Any ideas?
Robert
