Hi, Im trying to setup a cron job to download a set of log files on the 1st of every month though I can't seem to get it to work using a date variable. Am currently using:

0 10 1 * * lynx -dump -auth=user:pass http://www.example.com/subdirectory/$(date '+\%d\%m\%Y').zip > /home/user/logfiles/$(date '+\%d\%m
\%Y').zip

The files im trying to download are in the format:

01 February 2007 01022007.zip
01 March 2007 01032007.zip
01 April 2007 01042007.zip

Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong?

Cheers
