So I have this rsync script I wrote to grab some sql files and import them to a database. I left in the mysql stuff just give context to the situation. The real problem is with my rsync code.
script.sh (chmod 744)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rsync -av --rsh="sshpass -p'PASSWORD' ssh -l'USERNAME'" WEBSITE.com:/PATH/TO/RSYNC/REMOTE /PATH/TO/RSYNC/LOCAL
tables=(TABLE1 TABLE2)
for name in ${tables[@]}
do
mysql -u'USER' -p'PASSWORD' DBNAME < PATH/TO/SQLFILES/$name.sql
done
My cron looks like this ...
Code:
0 * * * * /PATH/TO/SCRIPT/script.sh
Here's the problem. When I execute the script in bash, it works fine. But my cron job returns these errors
Code:
rsync: Failed to exec sshpass: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at pipe.c(84) [receiver=3.0.6]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]
I don't get it, why would the script work in bash but not in cron ? What am I doing wrong ?
Hi there:
I run rsync very well by typing:
rsync -avz /source /destination
Then I want to run it by cron. So I had a crontab file like this:
* * * * * rm file
* * * * * rsync -avz /source /destination > cron_result
(The first line is used to test whether cron is working.)

Hi,
I am running a rsync via cron job.
Its running fine and is scheduled to 9:00 AM everyday.
Sometimes it runs for more than 24 hours, such that the next days cron also fires.
Now how will the sync happen as the <sync file> that both crons have created might conflict.
Thanks (5 Replies)
I set up a cron job to FTP to another machine. If I have not logged in before the time the cron is set to run, then the ftp program won't connect. I have run this cron on other boxes (diff networks) and it works fine...it is just this one. If anyone has any suggestions as to what would be... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I've created a cron job for a script with a rsync command in it. The script is named pull.sh and contains the following line :
What it is supposed to do is pull backup files from the production server of my company to my local server. It should also generate the log file (output.log)... (1 Reply)
Good morning,
The script below without the hilited text successfully FTPs the files in question to the other server when it is called from the crontab. I don't want to establish an FTP connection when there are no files so I tried including the hilited lines to only establish an FTP connection... (6 Replies)

The above command gives different results when run on a cron job. When run manually the result is accurate. (2 Replies)

rsync_selinux
rsync_selinux(8) rsync Selinux Policy documentation rsync_selinux(8)NAME
rsync_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rsync daemon
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rsync server via flexible mandatory access control.
FILE_CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If
you want to share files using the rsync daemon, you must label the files and directories public_content_t. So if you created a special
directory /var/rsync, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool.
chcon -t public_content_t /var/rsync
To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration:
semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?"
This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:
/var/rsync(/.*)? system_u:object_r:publix_content_t:s0
Run the restorecon command to apply the changes:
restorecon -R -v /var/rsync/
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub-
lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub-
lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for rsync you would execute:
setsebool -P allow_rsync_anon_write=1
BOOLEANS
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
