[log$:513] name=3D$(date +tiny-%b-%d-%g)
[log$:514] bakup=3D$name.tz

The assignments above result in bakup being=20
"/c/home/bak/tiny-Feb-02-g\r.tz". I'd like to understand why this
happens
when the script is being run from cron (but not when I run it in a bash
shell). Is the fix is to put "/usr/bin/date" instead of "date"?
