Re: Growisofs and etc/crontab
Thanks for the suggestion will check the paths at the beginning. The crontab I was using is the system one (/etc/crontab) and I did try specifying the whole path to the program as well. The exact error message was growisofs: not found. The command was 1 2 * * * root growisofs dvd-compat Z /dev/cd0a -R -J /home/bkup Should I just use roots crontab rather then the system one?

Growisofs and etc/crontab
Hello Everone, Anyone burning DVD+RW's from /etc/crontab? I am running Freebsd 4.10. I only get growisofs not found or something like that from cron in the mail messages it sends out. When I type out the growisofs -dvd-compat ... command it works great but from within cron doesnt seem to work. Anyone have any ideas. Andrew Firestone --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

If you want any serious assistance, you'll provide the exact error message, as well as the exact command that caused it. Otherwise, we can only guess at what you're doing and what's going wrong. When I type out the growisofs -dvd-compat ... command it works great but from within cron doesnt seem to work. Anyone have any ideas. My guess is that your cron job doesn't know where growisofs is and you haven't specified the full path to the program. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here's the first 2 lines of my crontab file: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/var/cron/tabs:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin Best of luck, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
