Is it possible to get cron to echo (or printf) the following string:
1110225^1110225^1110225^1110225^1110225
(with 110225 obviously being current date - at command line I obtained this string using
printf 1$(date +"%y%m%d")^1$(date +"%y%m%d")^1$(date +"%y%m%d")^1$(date +"%y%m%d")^1$(date +"%y%m%d")
But cron does not like this string - says
.... printf 1$(date +"
