hey centos
long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs
that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to
be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup
user):
run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3)
45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log
* 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump /var/log/amanda/crontab/amdump.log
The executables are where they are supposed to be and run if you type
them in on the command line:
[amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amcheck
-rwsr-x--- 1 root disk 68624 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amcheck
[amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amdump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amandabackup disk 9637 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amdump
Although I'm not sure what the 's' indicates in the permissions of amcheck.
And here's a tail of the cron logs
[root@amanda init.d]# tail /var/log/cron
Jan 5 07:01:01 newamanda crond[13612]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Jan 5 07:17:09 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT

Jan 5 07:25:38 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT
(amandabackup)
Jan 5 07:25:53 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup)
thanks in advance!
