cron job not running to completion
am running a cron job to do a backup of all user files. the script runs properly in the terminal but only backups about 20% of the files when run by cron.
the Linux system is running BASH as far as I can tell. the symbols $FILE and $DIRECTORY are defined properly and the following is the active line which causes the backup to occur: NAME=userName; # DIRECTORY=~/$NAME; FILE=$DIRECTORY/`date '+%y%m%d%H%M%S'`_$NAME.tar; # tar -cvf $FILE $DIRECTORY/html; what do I need to do to get cron to create a tarball of all the files? |
