Hi,
I would like to seek your help regarding the behavior of running a shell script
manually and via cron in Cygwin.
I made a simple bash script that execute hostname command, assign it to a
variable and write it on the logfile.
xhostname=`hostname`
echo "`date`| ${xhostname}*" >> /some/folder/logfile.log
When I manually execute the script, the expected output is ok. But when I
execute it via cron, it added a "Control-M" after it returned the hostname
value. May I know how I will address the issue?
To circumvent it, I just plan to issue a sed command after executing the
hostname.
xhostname=`hostname|sed -e 's/^M//g`
echo "`date`| ${xhostname}*" >> /some/folder/logfile.log
I'm just curious if there's another way of doing it in Cygwin.
Regards,
Jun
