Thanks Miles. I don't know how permissions might come in because the crontab belongs to root. The backup script belongs to user, but root should be able to run it as long as I give it the full path. But I did enable a cron log, which for some reason was disabled on my system. I'll have to wait a week to see what that log has to say. I don't know how to set its level, or if enabling the cron log captures all message from the cron daemon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
