Hi Chloe, As root the rsync has no access to your keys - run this job as yourself rather than root. HTH Rob

Does the script normally when your run it manually with the use of cron? Do you have the correct access permisions to the local directory and the script file? Have you looked in your console log? Try running it without sending the output to /dev/null to see if errors come up?

Also, cron doesn't always have access to your path or environment. You need to make sure that you give full paths to everything to be safe.
I got bitten by that so many times, now I just use absolute paths with cron every time. :-)

Assuming your key doesn't need a passphrase, authorized keys work because the remote side has the public part which is uses to make sure that the connecting process can read the private part - which, unless you say otherwise, is expected to be in $HOME/.ssh/
2/ why this root cronjob is not working? what wrong? I can't see this cron in message
the rsy.sh is below
#! /bin/sh rsync -essh -av chloe@remotehost:/var/www/html mailto:chloe@remotehost:/var/www/html /backup/html
If it works when logged in as yourself, the right identity key is probably in your own $HOME/.ssh/ directory. If you gave a passphrase when you created the keys, then it is a bit more complicated.
check this out if you wish to do root based server backups or whatever

Try this ... On your script ...
/usr/bin/rsync -avzh -e "ssh -i /home/user/.ssh/auth-key" chloe@remotehost:/var/www/html /backup/html

You are correct about the -i switch.
Another possibility coming to me mind (if the machine the cronjob is running is not the local machine but remote per ssh): maybe chloe K is using Authentication forwarding (see the -A -a switches to ssh). If so, maybe the private key is only existing on the local machine but not on the machine the cronjob is running.

Hi Chloe,
How did you create your cron table? You have to craete it with crontab and not with vi for it to be effective.
