Hi
?
I put the rsync in cronjob
but it won't work
?
in root user cron
?
*/30? * * * *? /home/chloe/rsy.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
?
1/ why it needs pw when I run this rsy.sh in root?
but if I run it in chloe user, it doesn't need pw as I put authoized_key in
remote host chloe
?
2/ why this root cronjob is not working? what wrong? I can't see this cron
in message
?
the rsy.sh is below
?
#! /bin/sh
rsync -essh -av chloe at remotehost:/var/www/html /backup/html
?
Thank you

If you gave a passphrase when you created the keys, then it is a bit more complicated. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Try this ... On your script ... /usr/bin/rsync -avzh -e "ssh -i /home/user/.ssh/auth-key" chloe at remotehost:/var/www/html /backup/html Gabe On 9/3/09 4:06 PM, "chloe K" <chloekcy2000 at yahoo.ca> wrote:> Hi > > I put the rsync in cronjob > but it won't work > > in root user cron > > */30 * * * * /home/chloe/rsy.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 > > 1/ why it needs pw when I run this rsy.sh in root? > but if I run it in chloe user, it doesn't need pw as I put authoized_key in > remote host chloe > > 2/ why this root cronjob is not working? what wrong?

Another possibility coming to me mind (if the machine the cronjob is running is not the local machine but remote per ssh): maybe chloe K is using Authentication forwarding (see the -A -a switches to ssh). If so, maybe the private key is only existing on the local machine but not on the machine the cronjob is running. -- best regards, markus

You have to craete it with crontab and not with vi for it to be effective. ChrisG
