Cron Problem
Hello,
I am running a cron job to call a shell script which simply copies a file from another server. I have installed keychain and ssh agent to authorise the server. When I run the shell script from the command line it works fine. The script is as follows: #! /bin/sh #Copy everything from the sites directory on the server scp user@server.domain.co.uk:/root/to/file /root/to/save exit And the entry in my crontab (I've tried as root and my own user) for testing: 38 * * * * /path/to/script When I look at the process list on minute 38, the cron job appears and the scp command is processed. However I never end up with the file. Anybody any ideas why? Thanks

maybe its a search path problem:
try /usr/sbin/ssh ... users usually have different search path setup than cron has... [edit] /usr/sbin/scp of course [/edit]

What you want to do is create a new key pair, without a passphrase. Copy the public portion of this keypair to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the user you will be signing in as. Copy the rivate portion of this keypair to ~/.ssh/ on the client machine.
Then, modify your script to read as follows: Code:
#! /bin/sh
email="admin@company.com"
date1=`date`
#Copy everything from the sites directory on the server
scp -r -i /path/to/private/key/file sally@192.168.1.80:/var/qmail /var/save
date2=`date`
echo -e "backup start: ${date1}\nbackup ended: ${date2}" | mail -s "SCP complete" ${email}
exit 0
Voila. Test it a few times from the command-line before adding it to cron.
