Using shellscript as CRONTAB task

[barryp]

I have a script containing the line

ssh bbb@193.xxx.xxx.xxx -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa_mfssh "ls -l dir/*.zip"

which works fine

However, when added to my crontab as

0 * * * * `script`

it fails - the "ls -l dir/*.zip" gets expanded

BUT

0 * * * * script

WITHOUT the ` (quote) seems to work

can someone explain to a newbie what's going on

thanks
