Hallo,

could someone please explain me why the following cronjob generates an empy
file when copy-pasting the command to console generates a "full" file?
It's in roots crontab created with crontab -e

00 21 * * * /usr/local/ldap/sbin/slapcat
> /var/backups/ldap/dumps/slapdump.`date +\%g\%m\%d_\%k:\%M`

Debian version is etch.

tia,

angela
