Hello, I use rsync with the following command #/usr/bin/rsync -ta rsync.server.domain::dir/* /destination from the command prompt without any problem but if I use the same rsync command from cron I get the following error daemon.warn: May 30 15:18:42 rsyncd[24703]: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] daemon.warn: May 30 15:18:42 rsyncd[24703]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) Could somebody tell me why. With kind regards, Maurice Lucas TAOS-IT
