The output from the scripts says it completed fine, but nothing is actually output. When I run the script manually it produces the same output, but it actually writes the backup files. Why doesn't cron running the script do this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
