I've got a script to backup my MySQL databases, which works absolutely fine from the command line, but when I add it in to root's cronjobs it always fails with "mysqldump: not found" - what am I doing wrong? Script as follows: #!/bin/sh USER= PASS= mysqldump --opt -h localhost -u $USER -p$PASS horbury_dppd06 >/home/horbury/backup_mysql/dppd06.sql And that's it... When run as root from CLI, works with no errors. When run from cron as root, get the "not found" problem.
