You can try running "dumpxCATdb" with the "-V" verbose flag. You can also try to see if DB is accessible from cron, by doing "tabdump site" from the cron.

It creates the directory as expected, but does nothing after. No errors. I am able to run the script from an interactive shell successfully as the same user it runs from cron as. Has anyone encountered this issue with the dumpxCATdb script before? -SS-_______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
