Hi all, I have asked this question a few times before with no reply, so I thought I'd try once more before I give up. I have a very simple script to back up the user directory on an nt server. The directory is mounted on my lm9.0 box (samba) and is backed up to a dat tape. If I run the script from the shell or from the icon I created, the back up works fine (about 600 users) When I run it as a cron job, the backup starts, but quits with no errors AFTER backing up the first 2 users. If any further ifo would help, please let me know. I'm having to manually start the backup every night, which is a pain in the rectum. :((

It dehumanizes those who achieve it, and makes difficult their commerce with just plain folks, in whom good old common sense has not been obliterated by mere book learning or fancy notions. This popular delusion flourishes now more than ever, for we are all infected with it in the schools, where educationists have elevated it from folklore to Article of Belief. It enhances their self-esteem and lightens their labors by providing theoretical justification for deciding that appreciation, or even simple awareness, is more to be prized than knowledge, and relating (to self and others), more than skill, in which minimum competence will be quite enough. -- The Underground Grammarian ..registered linux user #223862 .. _________________________________________________________________________
