Monthly report from cron is generating empty file #2099

Hi I've an Ubuntu 18.04 box where I run

sudo crontab -e

0 0 1 * * goaccess -f /var/log/apache2/access.log --log-format COMMON -a -d > "/var/www/html/stats/reporte_$(date +\%d\%m\%Y).html"

When I check the folder, file is 0bytes. Any clues?

If I execute the same command manually from shell:

sudo goaccess -f /var/log/apache2/access.log --log-format COMMON -a -d > "/var/www/html/stats/reporte_$(date +\%d\%m\%Y).html"

It works great

Feel free to use the official deb repo, usually debian/ubuntu take time to upgrade packages.

Yea, I did that. It looks like I had installed manually 1.2, now removed it, reinstalled through repo and changed cron to daily to see how it goes. Will update. Thanks
