hey centos
long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup user):
run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3)
45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log * 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump /var/log/amanda/crontab/amdump.log
The executables are where they are supposed to be and run if you type them in on the command line:
[amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amcheck -rwsr-x--- 1 root disk 68624 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amcheck
[amandabackup@amanda ~]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/amdump -rwxr-xr-x 1 amandabackup disk 9637 Dec 29 14:08 /usr/sbin/amdump
Although I'm not sure what the 's' indicates in the permissions of amcheck.
And here's a tail of the cron logs
[root@amanda init.d]# tail /var/log/cron Jan 5 07:01:01 newamanda crond[13612]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Jan 5 07:17:09 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:00 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) REPLACE (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:00 newamanda crontab[13652]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:01 newamanda crond[1448]: (amandabackup) RELOAD (cron/amandabackup) Jan 5 07:18:39 newamanda crond[13686]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) Jan 5 07:23:01 newamanda crontab[13699]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:23:47 newamanda crontab[13699]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:25:38 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) BEGIN EDIT (amandabackup) Jan 5 07:25:53 newamanda crontab[13751]: (amandabackup) END EDIT (amandabackup)
thanks in advance!
