Hi, I am not sure if there is a better place to ask this question. I have a shell script (single line): rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/cron/web-rsync-key" /usr/home/ [email protected]:/usr/home > /etc/rsync/output which works fine if I run it from a prompt as: ./etc/rsync/sync and produces output as expected to file /etc/rsync/output. crontab contains (single line): 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root /etc/rsync/sync Cron log shows: Mar 7 15:40:02 web /usr/sbin/cron[66012]: (root) CMD (/etc/rsync/sync) BUT, output contains nothing (assuming I reset it to that before cron executes the job. Any ideas or a better place to ask this or a way to debug it?
