I am trying to get a cron job going to do a config backup of my EM
server and I am running into a strange issue. Here is the beginning of
the command:

/usr/sbin/cf config backup loc=remote filename=fwbackup`date +%y%m%d`
directory=/data/fwbackup/

The job will run just fine from the command line, but when run from
cron it blows up using the date function. The cron log looks like this:

/usr/sbin/cf config backup loc=remote filename=fwbackup`date +)

Is there a know issue with using the date function in cron? It just
seems odd that it will work from the cli but not in cron.
