Pete, I left out the "#!/bin/bash" by accident. It is there. The 000backup.sh file has a couple of csh scripts. It's no different than other scripts that I mentioned. As for running the script as root, the answer is yes, it does. It seems funny to me that I don't see any errors either in the root e-mail, or in any of the logs. I may run it directly out of the crontab config file to see if that produces any errors in the logs. Thanks!

What is in /var/programs/backup_program/backup_script.sh ? Just to clearify, executing "/etc/cron.daily/000backup.sh" as root, runs properly? You shouldn't need it, but you may also want to put a path for the mail command (just a good security practice) and add #!/bin/bash (presuming your sh is sym'd to bash) -- 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
