Ok. It would not work with just 'bup' since cron does not read $PATH. Also, tail -f /var/mail/humphrey does not clear the previous log so you would get the same error every time in your log file, even though the command works correctly. A better way is:
/usr/local/bin/bup > /path/to/logfile 2>&1 Could you please try that, and see if it works correctly now. Indeed, using '&&' results in the old log (from the mail) only being copied over if the first command succeeds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532999 Title: cron does not read $PATH or Gnome Schedule doco is insufficient To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-schedule/+bug/1532999/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
