I am having a weird problem on a freebsd 4.7. I have two perl scripts I am
running via cron, one is run as root to make a backup of a directory and the
files in it, the second is run as a user to scp files to another box. What I
am encountering is the second script is running but dying

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
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.

Hmm, everything looks fine. You don't need a return value, so you
could try and issue the command as system($SSH, @args) and examine the
return code.

Hi.
I'm still running FreeBSD 4.3, but I suspect the problem isn't
specific to that one operating system.
I'm having fits running ftp from cron jobs. Shell or expect scripts
that execute perfectly from the terminal fail in a seeminly non-

Before it hits the limit though, it acts just like a daemon.
