i have a little script that i run every now and then as follows: #!/bin/bash #this runs rsync to update the local copy of cooker rsync -avL --delete --delete-after fr2.rpmfind.net::linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /mandrake/cooker/ > /dev/null 2> /dev/null #this updates urpmi database urpmi.update "localcooker" > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
the problem is that the last line works fine if pasted into a console, and the first line clearly works since i can see both the name of the script and rsync listed in ksysguard, however, urpmi never runs when running the script, i'm probably going to kick myself when i find out what i'm missing but i just can't work out what's wrong since the same urpmi line does work when run manually help gratefully received :-) bascule p.s. anyone wishing to confirm whether i need both --delete options to only delete old files 'after' syncing them-please feel free, the man pages for rsync weren't clear on this point
