Hello -
I am new to unix... very new. I am running a program at the command prompt:-
nohup ./ledger - comptroller_extract 05/11/2018 &
The above runs as expected.
If I put it in a sh script:-
current_date=$(date+%m/%d%y)
nohup ./ledger - comptroller_extract $current_date &
This does not work. It is as if the date is ignored.
current_date=$(date +%m/%d/%Y)
(include space before plus and upper case Y for 4 digit year)
are u saying the Uppercase Y should be lower case >

Thank you so much!!! It is working!!!!!
You were also missing a slash (i.e. / ) before the %Y in you date format string (as in +%m/%d/%Y ), but I assume you have already fixed that if it is working for you now.
Thank you for your help.
I created a cron entry on the user and it is working.
