Greetings Managers:
having had recent problems with tar via cron, I copied a working .sh script
from another machine and modified
the command to backup to appropriate directories.
I tested it interactively, and it worked beautifully. However, when cron ran
the job, the following error appeared:
tar: cannot open /dev/rmt0h: I/O error
the script is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Get the current date
cur_date=`date`
cur_mon=`echo $cur_date | cut -d" " -f2`
cur_day=`echo $cur_date | cut -d" " -f3`
cur_hr=`echo $cur_date | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -c1-2`
echo $cur_mon-$cur_day-$cur_hr
# Backup contents of /usr/users, /x/c21
/sbin/tar -cvf /dev/rmt0h /usr/users /x/c21 >
/tmp/scim21_backup_$cur_mon-$cur_day-$cur_hr 2>&1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
the error message is generated into the log file in /tmp. As I mentioned,
this exact (except directories) script is
running fine on an identical AS1000 4/200 3.2c machine.
If someone can suggest an action to take I would be much appreciative.
TIA, will Summarize
Dan
