Startup from script
I have this issue with running commands from a script: In my crontab I define script 'do_daily.run': 30 23 * * * root /root/cronjobs/do_daily.run The content of this script (amongst others) is: rsync -avpog /etc /backup/$DATE/ Funny thing now is that in the output of the script, the following appears: /root/cronjobs/do_daily.run: rsync: not found file credentials of the script itself: -rwx-- 1 root wheel 246 Jun 20 2010 do_daily.run What do I oversee here? kind regards, Jos Chrispijn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(There is a reason for this.) Recommended solution: provide the full path to rsync.
