Hi there,
I set up my company's back up server using rsync.
And I've got a strange problem. I searched in the archives of this
list, but
none of them seems not giving me an idea to solve the problem.
If anyone can help, it would be grateful.
I'm using cron by a user (non wheel/admin) to rsync everyday during
the night.
The cron is set in the server to transfer the backing-up directories
to a remote server.
My shell script is as follows.
I make up the proper command by the script. The user is authenticated
by RSA non password.
The problem is,
I can run successfully with the command, which was produced by the
script, from the command line.
But if I run this script from cron or run this script on command
line, link_stat error occurs.
The directory /home/auser/ is the current directory when the command
is run.
How can I get rid of that?
I tried "::" instead of single colon.
I don't use rsyncd.conf file, because I think it runs as non daemon
process.
This is a single command for back-up:
rsync -auzv -e ssh --delete --exclude=".*" --exclude="~*"
/work/data my.remote.domain:/ftproot/friday >> friday.log
Any comment would be appreciated.
