I have a svn backup script that works perfectly if I execute it from the command line but if I set it as a cronjob to run at night, only part of the code works.
So, basically the scripts starts by deleting the folder yesterday and then moves the folder today to the folder yesterday. When that is finished it start the backup.
ls -a /esp-server/svn/ > list.txt
cat list.txt | while read x; do
sudo svn-hot-backup /esp-server/svn/$x /network/ftp-backup/Svn/Today
wait
done
wait
date > end.txt
the 1st part does not work from the cronjob table and the second part runs with no problems. I even split the scripts but it still does not run.
Any idea why?
thanks!

bup-tag
bup-tag(1) General Commands Manual bup-tag(1)NAME
bup-tag - tag a commit in the bup repository
SYNOPSIS
bup tag
bup tag <tag name> <committish>
bup tag -d <tag name>
DESCRIPTION
bup tag lists, creates or deletes a tag in the bup repository.
A tag is an easy way to retreive a specific commit. It can be used to mark a specific backup for easier retrieval later.
When called without any arguments, the command lists all tags that can be found in the repository. When called with a tag name and a com-
mit ID or ref name, it creates a new tag with the given name, if it doesn't already exist, that points to the commit given in the second
argument. When called with '-d' and a tag name, it removes the given tag, if it exists.
bup exposes the contents of backups with current tags, via any command that lists or shows backups. They can be found under the /.tag
directory. For example, the 'ftp' command will show the tag named 'tag1' under /.tag/tag1.
Tags are also exposed under the branches from which they can be reached. For example, if you create a tag named 'important' under branch
'computerX', you will also be able to retrieve the contents of the backup that was tagged under /computerX/important. This is done as a
convenience, and should the branch 'computerX' be deleted, the contents of the tagged backup will be available through /.tag/important as
long as the tag is not deleted.
OPTIONS -d, --delete
delete a tag
EXAMPLE
$ bup tag new-puppet-version hostx-backup
$ bup tag
new-puppet-version
$ bup ftp "ls /.tag/new-puppet-version"
files..
$ bup tag -d new-puppet-version
