rsync not working thro' cron -RH Linux
Hi,
I am able to use rsync and run it thro' command line. But when I schedule a script file that has rsync command thro' cron, the job doesn't get executed. All other jobs in the cron runs fine.

cron entry--
57 13 * * * /home/apm/cron/rsync-backup.sh

rsync-backup.sh file--
rsync -avz --delete -e ssh2 /san/daily_exports/export/ test@sunny01:/san/daily_exports/export > /home/apm/cron/log

Check ENVIRONMENT variables, first off.

Where is rsynch? /usr/local/bin, maybe. cron on your box probably runs with PATH=/usr/bin. There maybe other env variables as well. Use env or printenv in the script to dump all of env variables.

cron entry--
57 13 * * * /home/apm/cron/rsync-backup.sh 2>&1 > /home/apm/cron/log


rsync-backup.sh file--
env
rsync -avz --delete -e ssh2 /san/daily_exports/export/ test@sunny01:/san/daily_exports/export

You can change this later on.
