Ubuntu 14 server
When i add cron job for testing in crontab

*/1 * * * * /home/arma3server/arma3server update > /home/arma3server/serverfiles/restarter/update

in 'update' log file i have

-e loading ...Bad Request

If i use sh script for restarting

/bin/bash

cd /home/arma3server
./arma3server restart
echo "server restarting"

then i'll get

./arma3server: 51: ./arma3server: Bad substitution
-e loading ...Bad Request
chmod: cannot access ‘’: No such file or directory
./arma3server: 96: ./arma3server: source: not found
./arma3server: 108: ./arma3server: fn_getopt: not found
server restarting

but if i do the same via console, it is ok, server runing/restarting and e.t.c

With 'start' 'stop' 'restart' 'monitor' the same. What i doing wrong? In CentOS 7 it's ok
Thanks in advance.
