I added the full path and the result didn't change. I can still see it
running in the log but the script doesn't appear to be doing anything.
I have the following variables set in the root's crontab
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/root
The file I'd like to execuate has the following permissions
rwxr-x---
it's own by root, the contents of the file are below
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
date_time=$(/bin/date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")
/usr/local/bin/mysqldump -u backup_user -pPassWord DataBase
/backup/db/DataBase-$date_time
I run the same script, however without the credentials. Those are in
~/.my.cnf
[client]
user = backupuser
password = thepassword
host = the.host.name
my backup script:
*******
ra% cat bkupdb
#!/bin/sh
DATUM=`date +%Y%m%d`
nice -19 /usr/local/bin/mysqldump -A --single-transaction >
/home/peter/backup/mysql-${DATUM}.sql
gzip /home/peter/backup/mysql-${DATUM}.sql
******
nb: DATUM = Dutch for date
