Hi there,
Sorry, but I am totally confused now. I have a script that creates a
new sub-directory and copies files over to the new sub-directory. My
problem is, the directory where this sub-directory is supposed to be
created is restricted. Only I have have write permissions to the
directory, everyone else has read privileges.
When I run my script interactively, the sub-directory gets written.
However, when I run the same script under cron, I get the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/builds/test': Permission denied
I search everywhere but there doesn't seem to be a similar issue. I read
that cron runs scripts under a different user, and tried adding
"su - test_user" to my script as suggested. I made sure my uid and gid
matched in my cron and interactive logs and the environment "env"
matched up. But I still cannot get my sub-directory created within cron.
Help!
