At first glance it sounds like a syntax error.

This must just be my weekend and week for email fun!

This weekend I spent both days setting up a second email server and getting replication going per Jake's video. Mostly went well, but I did have some issues with Unison. I had to run it multiple times for it to sync all of the domains/users/email over to the new server.

Now I notice that the Unison is having issue sync'ing up some of the Dovecot files. Examples would be: dovecot-uidlist / dovecot.index.cache / dovecot.index.log

I notice that this happens in multiple areas of the users email accounts. For example: /Maildir, /Maildir/.Deleted Items, /Maildir/.INBOX.Sent, /Maildir/.INBOX.Trash, etc

Anyone have any ideas on why these Dovecot files would be causing a sync issue? I don't recall this the first time I built a replicating server, but that was on Courier not Dovecot.

On another note, I also question if my script file (sync-qmail) with all the unison commands is actually running or not. I see it firing off every 10 minutes in the cron log, but when I run 'top' I do not see unison running. If I fire off the sync-qmail from the command line it runs for about 3 minutes and I can see it using top. I am sure I am missing something here.

Here is some more information about the strange cron issue I seem to have. I watched the cron log AND ran top at the same time and when cron supposedly fired off Unison, I never saw it run.

Here is what I have in my crontab (I took out the ">/dev/null 2>/dev/null" in the second line to see if I could get output in the cron log -- no luck):

17 2 * * * pyzor discover

00 01 * * * /usr/sbin/qtp-backup

10 16 * * * /etc/webmin/cron/tempdelete.pl #Delete Webmin temporary files

0-59/5 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/dovecot-check 2>&1 > /dev/null

# */10 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/sync-qmail >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

*/10 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/sync-qmail

And here is my 'sync-qmail' script:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/unison /home/vpopmail/domains ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///home/vpopmail/domains/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /var/qmail/control ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///var/qmail/control/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /var/qmail/users ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///var/qmail/users/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /etc/tcprules.d ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///etc/tcprules.d/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /etc/httpd ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///etc/httpd/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /etc/mail ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///etc/mail/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /opt/spamdyke/etc ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///opt/spamdyke/etc/ -owner -group -batch -terse

/usr/bin/unison /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs ssh://66.255.244.211:11122///var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/ -owner -group -batch --terse

I can't figure out where I am going wrong in this. Seems like it should work just fine.

I just got an email from cron on my postmaster account that reads:

"/bin/sh: root: command not found"

The "sync-qmail"  IS there!  I'm lost. LOL
