Hi,
I am not sure if there is a better place to ask this question. I have a
shell script (single line):
rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/cron/web-rsync-key" /usr/home/
root at 10.0.0.232:/usr/home > /etc/rsync/output
which works fine if I run it from a prompt as:
./etc/rsync/sync
and produces output as expected to file /etc/rsync/output.
crontab contains (single line):
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root /etc/rsync/sync
Cron log shows:
Mar 7 15:40:02 web /usr/sbin/cron[66012]: (root) CMD (/etc/rsync/sync)
BUT, output contains nothing (assuming I reset it to that before cron
executes the job.
Any ideas or a better place to ask this or a way to debug it?
Thanks,
