Here is an output of my /etc/cron.daily directory. As you can see, the permissions are all correct. The problem file is the 000backup.sh script. The scripts that are named 000report_gen and 00log_archiver work flawlessly. These are two scripts that were made about the same time at 000backup.sh. 000backup.sh works fine if you were to execute it locally.

If there is something needed in that file, try seting it within the script. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
