Earlier today, I finished editing a script for backups. Parts of this script have been working for months, and now they are failing. Things like tar, gzip, ls, and grep, are now reporting as "no such file or directory". As I said, these commands in my script have worked for months. Now, the exact same commands are failing. It acts like a path issue, and I haven't made any changes to the environment on this box.
Specifically, this line: tar zcpf ${archiveDir}/dbdumps${DATE}.tar.gz . results in 'tar (child): gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory' gzip is always in the path. And, if I run; # which gzip I get: /bin/gzip If I run the tar command from the command line, it works. If I run the script, as the same user, from the console, it fails. If the script runs from cron (the desired place to run it), it fails. Any ideas?
