You're right... it's for /usr/local/bin/bash. Obviously I had a lot more
problems than I was aware of. Its working now; thanks, I appreciate
everyone's help.

Hmmm, what shell is this s
Okay, the problem seems to be with a certain part of my script. Like I
said, it works fine when I start it manually (./)
I set up a few "checkpoints" if you will, and I determined that it's this
loop that cron has a problem with:
for (( i = $numbkups ; i >= 2 ; i-- ))
do
let from=i-1
mv
Yes, it is.

I forgot to mention that I've already tried giving the absolute path to
every executable mentioned in the script, but to no avail.

Well that's embarrassing. Good eye, thank you. Still not working though.

I've been trying to get this working for quite a while, maybe you guys can
help me out.
This is my first time administering a FreeBSD server (or any server for that
matter) and I've only been using FreeBSD (or any other *nix for that matter)
for about 6 months.
The script below works perfectly
