Bug Description

One of the default cron jobs within /etc/cron.d/landscape-server (Update Alerts) looks like this:

*/5 * * * * landscape ( /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/update_alerts.sh; /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/landscape_profiles.sh; /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/process_alerts.sh )

but if I try to run

landscape ( /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/update_alerts.sh; /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/landscape_profiles.sh; /opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/process_alerts.sh )

under Ubuntu 18.04 server's (default) bash shell I get the error:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `/opt/canonical/landscape/scripts/update_alerts.sh'

That command doesn't work when run from an interactive shell but I don't see any errors in /var/log/syslog for it so I presume it is running fine and this can likely be closed.
