Interactively, I am running the script as the backup account that cron uses to run the copy script. And it runs correctly interactively. I try the ssh -v and see if that says anything.. Is there a timeout issue that cron might be seeing? Anyone know? hmm.. I am stumped.

Shouldn't be the case here, because then, the script wouldn't start at all, but as Eric has pointed out it runs up to the first SSH call. Eric, it might be a good idea to call ssh with the -v switch and capture the output of the command. Maybe it sheds some light into your problem. Do you use the same user for interactive and cronjob operation? norbert. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
