| 1 | Hi all, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Ok, this is really irritating me... |
| 4 | |
| 5 | I have a script that simply performs some backups. The commands are like |
| 6 | this: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | # perform tar.tgz backup of /etc |
| 9 | tar -czpvf $BKUP_DIR_etc/$BKUP_DateTime-dev-ecat-etc.tgz /etc |
| 10 | |
| 11 | When I run this script manually, it does what it is supposed to, and the |
| 12 | resulting file is about 500K. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | When it runs from cron (roots crontab), it results in a 20 byte (empty) |
| 15 | file. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | So what am I missing/doing wrong? |
