Hi, when I execute

 ./script &>> log.txt

I get a nice logfile, but if I have the same command executed by cron, lets say the crontab looks like this:

* * * * * '/home/user/script &>> /home/user/log.txt'

the log.txt will just be empty, I tried " and ' and ` and no ticks to enclose the command, any idea why the streams won't get written into the file?
