Ok, this one is for the archives. A how to get ssh/cron working together on FBSD. 1. Make a script ------------- #!/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH zip -r /tmp/file /files/www/data/test scp /tmp/file.zip user@host: rm /tmp/file.zip ------------- 2. Setup ssh for entering password automatically. ------------- On the server thats sending the file run ssh-keygen, answer any neccessary questions. Copy <user>/.ssh/identity.pub to the recieving server. Move identity.pub on the receiving box to .ssh/authorized_keys. -------------- 3. Now you should be able to run the script in step 1 and it executes properly. Setup cron to execute the script, and youre done...
