SUMMARY:
The script for the RDM $HOME/bin/daily file does not run properly. It
fails when run manually or with the cron command because it encounters
a file named -sh.log. The mv command within the script tries to
interpret the "-" as an argument which generates the mv failure error:
$ ./daily
mv: illegal option -- h
mv: illegal option -- .
mv: illegal option -- l
mv: illegal option -- o
mv: illegal option -- g
Usage: mv [-f] [-i] f1 f2
mv [-f] [-i] f1 ... fn d1
mv [-f] [-i] d1 d2
Contents of the -sh.log file:
--- -sh START ---

** Parameters:

** Starting Menu System (Multi-User)

SOLUTION:
As an interim workaround, rename the -sh.log file when running the script.
