date bug

[Jesse Lloyd]

Hello,

If I do this in a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
echo `date +%X` > /var/www/loger


save it as /var/www/test.sh

make it executable  (chmod +x test.sh)

if I run it from bash and cat /var/www/loger I get 12:29:09 AM

if I run it from sh I get the same.

If I stick that into crontab using crontab -e (*/1 * * * *
/var/www/test.sh > /dev/null 2>&1)  and cat /var/www/loger after
crontab has run I get 00:29:09

This also happens with  echo `date +%x` > /var/www/loger

executed from bash I get 10-03-20, but if executed via crontab I get
03/20/10 when I cat /var/www/loger


Why is this?
