cron question

[duncan320]

Having a few issues with a cron job, i have just sucessfully wrote a cron with a script to backup my entire site to a zip file so i know cron is ok.

I am trying to backup the mysql db's

I am using the following command, but when ran at a set time, no backups and no e-mail either any idaas why.

/usr/bin/mysqldump -u username -ppassword dbanme > /home/myusername/backup-$(date +\%d\%m\%Y).sql

Thanks

Have managed to get this working now, playing around with it and it works.

Thanks
