Greetings, I hope this is an easy one. Problem: cron will not run any shell scripts. Description: As far as I can tell cron works fine, but cron will not run any shell scripts. The shell scripts work fine if invoked from the shell. $sh /home/phantom/backup_script/daily building file list ... done /cygdrive/c/docs /cygdrive/c/docs/test_doc123.txt /cygdrive/c/docs/test_doc456.txt sent 322 bytes received 92 bytes 276.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 The following cron test works flawlessly. $crontab -l SHELL=/bin/bash HOME=/ PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin:/home LOGNAME=phantom * * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /test/test.txt #00 20 * 12 1-6 /home/phantom/backup_script/daily However when I place a shell script to start at 20:00 (Or anytime) it does not run. I do not receive any error messages in windows or cygwin. Below is the crontab with the shell script I am trying to run. $crontab -l SHELL=/bin/bash HOME=/ PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin:/home LOGNAME=phantom # * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /test/test.txt 00 20 * 12 1-6 /home/phantom/backup_script/daily $cat /home/phantom/backup_script/daily #!/bin/sh RSYNC=/bin/rsync SSH=/bin/ssh KEY=/home/phantom/.ssh/dsa-key RUSER=phantom RHOST=192.168.1.33 LPATH=/cygdrive/c/docs RPATH=/home/phantom/backup/docs/ $RSYNC -avz -e "$SSH -i $KEY" $LPATH $RUSER@$RHOST:$RPATH >> /logs/backup.log Course of action: To date I have searched all over the web and I have read the archived the cygwin mailing lists. I have verified all file permissions. I have tried to $chmod 700 /home/phantom/backup_script/daily this was unsuccessful I was on irc and someone told me to verify my crontab enviornment variables and I think they look ok. Thank you for your time, Cheers John S. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Low, Low, Low Rates! Check out Yahoo!
