ISSUE TYPE:

Bug Report

ENVIRONMENT VERSION

Zmbackup Version: 1.2.3
Zimbra Version: 8.8.9
Linux Distribution & Version: Centos 7

SUMMARY

Hi Team,

I run manually sudo -u zimbra /usr/local/bin/zmbackup -f and I have got this error in my console invalid date ‘+%s’

It seems that script could not get result from command date ‘+%s’.

Server clock is in sync. We use chrony to keep our servers in sync. When I run manually I have got the following output:

[root@mx bash]# date ‘+%s’
date: invalid date ‘‘+%s\’’
[root@mx bash]# date +%s
1552292282

probably backticks in command are the problem ...
