CentOS

Hi all,
I wanted to print a table, generated with a cronjob. The date in this table should be printed as follows: Because the %-sign in the crontab writes a new line, I escaped the % with \ within the date command: But the backslash will be printed, too, in contrast to all the information I found: This is not what I want. How can I get rid of the backslash in the output?

Thank you, richard

Everything OK. It was my stupidness. The %'s are inside the script, which is called by cron, and not in the crontab itself. Sorry for this foolish question.
