crontab中下面的腳本不能

 0 1 * * *   (cd /u01/prod; rsync -avz app 192.168.0.192:/u01/prod/) &>/home/applprod/backuplog/rsync_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.log

執行的時候，/var/log/messages日志中顯示：

Sep 22 22:50:01 ebsapp CROND[13389]: (applprod) CMD ((cd /u01/prod; rsync -avz app 192.168.0.192:/u01/prod/) &>/home/applprod/backuplog/rsync_`date +)

好像是命令被截斷的樣子。

于是我把要執行的命令都封裝到一個腳本中，放到crontab中執行。

但是稍后查看crontab的manpage時發現，%在crontab中有特殊含義：

The  "sixth"  field (the rest of the line) specifies the command to be run.  The entire command portion of the line, up to a new-        line or % character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell specified in the SHELL variable of the cronfile.   Percent-signs        (%)  in  the  command, unless escaped with backslash (), will be changed into newline characters, and all data after the first %        will be sent to the command as standard input.

到這里問題已經清楚了，并不是crontab命令被截斷，而是被理解成另外的含義了，解決的方法也有了，就是將%進行轉義，修改之后的腳本變成了：

03 23 * * * (cd /u01/prod; rsync -avz app 192.168.0.192:/u01/prod/) &>/home/applprod/backuplog/rsync_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.log
