Anybody have any clues why a shell script run from root's CRON would act differently then when run directly from the command line? Specifically, I have a script that looks for files on a NFS mount point and copies them across and changes the ownership/perms. Here's the gist of the script: #!/bin/sh TDIR=`date +%m%d%y%s` mkdir /tmp/$TDIR mv /source/* /tmp/$TDIR/ chown user:group /tmp/$TDIR/* chmod 660 /tmp/$TDIR/* mv /tmp/$TDIR/* /destination/ When run from roots CRON it does everything but the chmod correctly, which is strange. When I run it from the command line as root it works fine as expected. I'm running 6.1-STABLE-200608. Any clues?
