I have a script that tars important files on my RH box and FTPs the tarball
over to another machine for backup purposes. I had a symbolic link to this
script in /etc/cron.hourly. The script ran fine for more than a year.
Yesterday I updates to the latest cron via the binary RPM
vixie-cron-3.0.1-61 and now my backup script does seem to run. I found out
that the script runs fine when invokes manually. Trouble-shooting further,
I found that when I run run-parts /etc/cron.hourly, my script kicks off,
tar everything, FTPs it fine, but never seems to exit from the FTP. I do
not think that the new cron RPM touched run-parts, yet all of a sudden the
script is not working when called from run-parts. I cannot find a man page
for run-parts. Does anyone have an explanation/resolution for this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help,
--Moby
