The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Permission Denied while running a bash script via cron on MNT/NAS, How to solve this?

Asked by tzvish in Unix Operating Systems, Linux, Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: cpanel permissions, cron permissions, cpanel user permissions, nas permissions

Hello,

I have nas setup on my hosting server and doing great running my bash script via root with putty connection.
Whenever I try to run these bash script that basically does "ls" on the nas folder and copies mysqldump *.gz to it - I get a permission denied error.
this doesn't occur when running the script with root.

I have tried for hours to get around this, cron runs the bash script under it's cpanel username in this case, which I guess doesn't have root's permissions - Can you please help me in how can get my user to make modifications to the nas files?
this was my mount command:

mount -t cifs -o username=hiddenusername,password=hiddenpassword //hiddenIP/nas.nas.XXX /mnt/nas
(parts of the command were hidden for security reasons)

this is an example output of the script while running from my cpanel user's cron:
/home/XXX/mybackup.sh: line 5: /mnt/nas/backups/XXX/XXX_04_11_09.gz: Permission denied
mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write
ls: /mnt/nas/backups/XXX/XXX_04_11_09.gz: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/nas/backups/XXX/XXX*: Permission denied
(parts of the command were hidden for security reasons)

I have noticed that whitin the NAS my group name and username for files and folders are different and labeled as numbers.
Please provide help in which my cpanel cron user can make file modifications to that nas folder ?
