Hi all, I can't get taper to finish its run when called from roots crontab. When I run it from roots command line it works just fine. My crontab entry is:
38 0 * * 0,1,3,5 /sbin/taper -U @full It starts and selects the fileset that is defined in 'full'. But then it errors with the following error: Backup commenced at Mon Oct 19 01:14:07 1998 Unable to start backup child Backup ABORTED Backup finished at Mon Oct 19 01:26:12 1998 Then cron sends an email which states: Unable to start backup child sh: /var/tmp/taper12645aaa: No such file or directory /var/tmp has permissions of 5 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 5120 Oct 19 01:26 /var/tmp/ What should I be looking for? Any hints on how to get this to work under cron?
