Dear Concerns, I have backup script which TAR the data, makes one copy on local hardisk and then FTP to another machine. Last few days i m facing problem with it. The cron job only makes the copy automatically on local disk but doesnot automatically FTP to another machine. I ran the script manually, the script runs successfully. For trouble shooting i displayed the output in some file and shown this error: Cron Entry is : */5 * * * * /opt/bin/ftp.sh 2> /tmp/error_log "/opt/bin/ftp.sh: line 3: ftp: command not found" Please help me out of this problem.

Best to put the full path into place, '/usr/bin/ftp' -- R | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
