title: Run crontab with user input
body: <p>i created a crontab which will run a bash script test.sh. This test.sh file requires some input from the user, and saves the user input into a variable. How do i ensure that the user input will be saved to a variable in test.sh, and when crontab runs the script i can get the output i want?</p>
  
  <p>for e.g i have 2 files, file1.sh and file2.sh. i put file2.sh in file 1.sh. i then run file1.sh, get the user input, and save it somewhere. crontab will run file2.sh, and retrieve the value from the "<em>saved somewhere variable</em>". is there anyway for this?</p>
