I have the following line in a cron job:

I get in the journal:

and in the e-mail
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
man 5 crontab says:
[..]
The ``sixth'' field (the rest of the line) specifies the command
to be
run. The entire command portion of the line, up to a
newline or %
character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell specified
in the
SHELL variable of the cronfile. Percent-signs (%) in the
command, un‐
less escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into newline charac‐
ters, and all data after the first % will be sent to the
command as
standard input.
Regards,
Leigh.
