Not specifically with dumpxCATdb, but generally I have this type of thing happen from time to time. I found two common causes that tend to be fairly easy to troubleshoot.
It is often caused by SELinux (when run from the command line, SELinux usually does not restrict what you can do, but when run from a daemon, it does). If you have SELinux enabled, you could temporarily set it to Permissive, and see if the script works. The other thing that can affect whether/how a script runs is the environment. Maybe dumpxCATdb depends on some environment variables that are only present when run from a command line. _______________________________________________________________________ Kevin Keane | Systems Architect | University of San Diego ITS | kke...@sandiego.edu *Pronouns: he/him/his*Maher Hall, 162 |5998 Alcalá Park | San Diego, CA 92110-2492 | 619.260.6859 | Text: 760-721-8339 *REMEMBER! **No one from IT at USD will ever ask to confirm or supply your password*.
