In crontab I have this job script :

0 5 * * * /home/user/job_h.bash > /home/user/log_h.log > 2&1 

where the job_h.bash contains :

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
source /home/user/pyenv/test/bin/activate
python3 /home/user/pyenv/test/d_h.py
deactivate

However it outputs "/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: redirection unexpected"

Would you please help me to understand ? I'm pretty sure that i'm using the right shebang and finally the python isn't executed 🤷‍♀️

Thank you,

I almost certain your redirection for stderr is wrong. (the last 3 characters) Try

 home/user/job_h.bash > /home/user/log_h.log 2>&1 

The problem is your command, as written is trying to redirect stdout twice.
