Cron isn't executing all commands
I have a script, daily.sh, that runs every day at 3 am
Code:
0 3 * * * /root/daily.sh When executed normally (./daily.sh) it works just fine. The problem is that when run by cron, it doesn't execute all of the commands in daily.sh. Even though cron is run by root. Code:
[root@utopia.XXXXXXX.XX] ~: cat daily.sh #!/bin/sh TS=`date "+%Y_%m_%d"` MYSQL_PATH="/var/db/mysql" WWW_PATH="/www" # This part is NOT being executed umount /dev/da0c dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=2 disklabel -Brw da0 auto newfs /dev/da0c >> /dev/null mount /dev/da0c /zip # This part is NOT being executed # This part IS being executed `cp -R -p $MYSQL_PATH /zip/$TS-mysql` # .. and a bunch of other cp's. # This part IS being executed I don't have anything in /var/cron/deny, and /var/log/cron doesn't say anything useful. Any ideas?

It's probably got to do with the environment that cron makes available to your script. Try running /usr/bin/env from the command line and see what the environment looks like. Then run the same command using cron. It's likely that the PATH in the cron environment is very different from the one you get on the command line.
For example, my command line PATH is: /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin And my cron PATH is: /usr/bin:/bin Most of the commands in the section of your code that isn't executing are in /sbin/. Hope that helps.
