Hi, I have a running Gitorious installation into 2.4.10 version.
I would like to schedule a snapshot task into a cron job which should be executed under root privileges (as mentionned into Gitorious online doc). Here is my cron job defined into /etc/cron.d/gitorious: --8<------ RUBY_HOME=/opt/ruby-enterprise GITORIOUS_HOME=/opt/gitorious */5 * * * * root /opt/gitorious-cronjob.sh --8<------ Here is the simple script: --8<------ #!/bin/bash # Lock file LOCKFILE="/var/lock/gitorious-cronjob.lock" # Check lock file [ -f $LOCKFILE ] && exit 2 # Lock this cronjob echo $$ > $LOCKFILE # Export path if [ -n "$GITORIOUS_HOME" ] && [ -n "$RUBY_HOME" ]; then export PATH=$GITORIOUS_HOME/bin:$RUBY_HOME/bin:$PATH fi # Run jobs cd /opt/gitorious ./script/snapshot ~git/gitorious-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz # Remove lock file rm -f $LOCKFILE --8<------ When I run manually this simple script, all is working fine and an archive is correclty created into "~git" directory. But the corresponding cron job failed with the following error: --8<------ X-Cron-Env: <RUBY_HOME=/opt/ruby-enterprise> X-Cron-Env: <GITORIOUS_HOME=/opt/gitorious> X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> Snapshotting state... (in /opt/gitorious) Please run the task as superuser/root! Snapshot done. --8<------ I had a look into the file "lib/tasks/backup.rake", and into the function called "exif_if_sudo". There is a condition which referred to "Process.uid". This statement returns "500", the uid of my "git" user which owns the entire "/opt/gitorious directory". There is something I do not understand. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
