Issue with "date" command in MacOS Mojave I think this is a "Full Disk Access" problem. 

I have added "Terminal" and "cron" to Full Disk Access. 

The problem is when I am trying to use the command below, it works from Terminal but not with cron. 

cp -n LastSession.plist  /XYZ/LastSession.plist.$(date +%F).txt


It breaks in cron when I add $(date +%F). I tried researching this but no luck. 

How can I get this command to run in cron using Mojave?
Figured it out. 

You have to escape the % in cron, so should read like this:

* * * * * cp -n LastSession.plist  /XYZ/LastSession.plist.$(date +\%F).txt
