Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Mac OS X Catalina - NFS File Access Behavior in CRON or Launchd Post 303045425 by sea on Friday 20th of March 2020 10:53:18 AM

Hello

1)
Are you using variables within the cron script (or is it really as hardcoded as you describe)?
If so, this would be the cause of error, as CRON runs without an 'environment' (AFAIK).

2)
Did you add the job to the root's cron, or to your own?

3)
I dont know /etc/hosts.base ; is that a Mac (or customized) thing?
But since you said the script runs fine when executed manualy, this cant be it.
