This is driving me crazy. I have a small script that I
run from CRON. It is run as a regular user and not as
ROOT, although I have tried it both ways. It uploads
SPAM to the 'knujon.com' site'.
I have created a ~/.netrc file that looks like this:
machine knujon.com
login user
password secret
macdef spam
put $1
quit
Now, if I run the following command from the command
prompt, the script works fine.
echo \$ spam spam.zip | ftp -n
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The above should all be on one line, although it may
be shown split into two right now.
However, if this is put into a bash script, and run if
from CRON, I receive a mail with this error message:
'spam' macro not found.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I have the $HOME, $SHELL and $PATH variables set in
CRON.
try set -x and see what the output looks like. I'd guess you are not
escaping the $ right in your script.
