Sorry for not doing the obvious. D'oh! System Version: Dapper Drake (6.06LTS) backupninja 0.9.2-3 /bin/sh is a symlink to bash
This is actually a bug, even with dash. Script to demonstrate the problem. You can invoke it with any Bourne style shell you want and if the shell has globbing, it'll go boom: (see attachment) This is true of the 'tr -d [:alpha:]' line too. Example Output: # env -i dash /tmp/bug.sh + DIR=/tmp/bug.demo1.9173 + mkdir /tmp/bug.demo1.9173 + cd /tmp/bug.demo1.9173 + touch u + echo I WANT LOWER + tr u [:lower:] tr: misaligned [:upper:] and/or [:lower:] construct + rm -rf /tmp/bug.demo1.9173 I suspect that I must have a single character filename wherever the cwd of backupninja is when I run it via cron. Sorry I didn't give you better information before. I don't know what I was thinking.
