POUbuntu root Cron job not completing
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm running a combination backup script from a root cron on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server.</p> <p>The root cron looks like this:</p> <pre><code># m h dom mon dow command 0 1 * * 2-6 /home/cbhiadmin/archive </code></pre> <p>It's executed as it's expected. The archive command kicks off several individual facility backups. The code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash # This script executes several individual facility archive processes & logs success. /home/cbhiadmin/archive104 /home/cbhiadmin/archive106 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "$(date '+%m/%d/%y-%H:%M') Nightly Addon backup SUCCESSFUL" >> /home/cbhiadmin/addon_backups/addon_backup.log exit fi </code></pre> <p>Then the last part is an individual facility backup as follows:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash # This script archives a facility, FTPs the archive to 10.5.2.76, & logs failure. today=$(date '+%m%d%y') site="106" cd /home/cbhiadmin/addon_backups/"$site" if [ ! -f "$site"adata_"$today".tar.gz ]; then tar --exclude *.CSV --exclude *.csv -czf "$site"adata_"$today".tar.gz -C /usr/bbx/aon/ "$site"/ADATA/ if [ $? -ne 0 ];then echo "$(date '+%m/%d/%y-%H:%M') $site: Nightly Addon backup FAILED" >> /home/cbhiadmin/addon_backups/addon_backup.log fi fi cp "$site"adata_"$today".tar.gz /home/cbhiadmin/SAN/"$site" find ~/SAN/"$site"/*.tar.gz -maxdepth 1 -mtime +60 -exec rm {} + </code></pre> <p>My problem is that the last line does not seem to work from the root cron, but works when I run the archive as root myself. </p> <p>What's missing?</p>
