Hello,
Forgive me as I am more familier with BSD than Solaris. Im maintaining
several E250 Sun boxes with Solaris 9 on them. My question is Ive written
a couple shell scripts that do tar backups of certain files & databases on
these machines. When i run the script manually as root ...they run
fine...however when i add the script to crontab by doing
#crontab -e root
and adding the following
### tar backup of /db/
0 3 * * 1-5 /home/network/tarscript.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
the script runs but creates an emtpy tar file or doesnt run at all
also I havent been able to collect any output from dmesg or logging to
find the problem. As well as all the paths within the scripts are explicit
...the full path to whatever.Any and all help is greatly appreciated
Thank you
