I realise this isn't really an rdiff-backup problem but I'm rather stumped by this problem.
I have an rdiff-backup that runs as a cron job, "crontab -l" shows:- 25 02 * * * /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup /home/isbd ch...@cheddar.halon.org.uk::backups/isbd When run from the command line this works fine:- chris$ /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup /home/isbd ch...@cheddar.halon.org.uk::backups/isbd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148: DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module. stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd) Warning: Local version 1.2.8 does not match remote version 1.2.5. But when run as a cron job (from my crontab) I get the following errors (mailed to me):- /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/SetConnections.py:148: DeprecationWarning: os.popen2 is deprecated. Use the subprocess module. stdin, stdout = os.popen2(remote_cmd) Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,password). Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated remotely) Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing ssh -C ch...@cheddar.halon.org.uk rdiff-backup --server Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (1.2.8). While I'm about it will moving to Version 1.3.3 get rid of all those warning messages? -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
