Hi,

I've got 2 answer allmost in a minute. Thanks to Olle Eriksson and Adrian
Howard!

I've never thought about this but it turns out to be awfully simple: cron
doesn't set your PATH environment as I expected is. Adding /sbin/ to my
vrestore and vdump commands was enough!

Thank you very much! I'm again suprised by the QUICK responses!

Kind regards, Luitzen

Hi,

I've got a backupscript wich I want to start from the crontab. Manually the
script works fine in cron the commands vrestore en vdump don't work.
Monitoring the processes I don't even find a process for them...

This is de command as I've been using restoring the file session from the
first saveset on tape:

#!/bin/sh

BUPdev="/dev/rmt0h"

mt -f $BUPdev load
vrestore -f $BUPdev -v -o yes -D /tmp -x session
mt -f $BUPdev offline
exit

The vdump syntax is:

vdump -f $BUPdev -v -0 -N -D /usr

Manually it works fine, Manually detatching works fine but Cron doesn't work
(all user root).

Kind regards,
Luitzen van Gorkum
