Help running a script in linux
Posted on 2006-11-17
Hi
I have a red hat 8 server and I have this script in a file named backup.sh
zip -ur9 /home/backup/ArchiverosTIN
zip -r9 /home/backup/ProscaiTIN_$(
when I run the command "sh backup.sh" everything is fine, and the backup is done and I get 2 zip files
I added a line to the crontab file to run this script automatically every day at midnight, and the backup starts as spected, but It never finish, I only get one incomplete zip file (it is incomplete 'cos it has a random name , no extension, and its about 30 MB when it should be about 200)
does some one know why?
thanks

I woud suggest adding:
1> OutA.txt 2> ErrorA.txt
1> OutB.txt 2> ErrorB.txt
To the end of each command respesctively. The Out files will contain the STDOUT messages and the Error files will contain the STDERR messages. This may give you an idea of what is working and what is failing.
