Date in Crontab email subject
问题 I have an ubuntu server where I schedule crontab processes like the following. 59 2 * * * : Backup Settings; ~/backup_settings.sh At the conclusion of the process, I will get an email with the subject line "Backup Settings ...". Essentially the noop function (:) does nothing with the words "Backup Settings". I would like to add today's date to the email subject. Naturally, I tried 59 2 * * * : $(date +%Y%m%d) Backup Settings; ~/backup_settings.sh but that doesn't result in the desired email
