Hi, I tried scheduling this crontab as a roor or as a user called 'cuser'
this is the crontab (without quotes):
'27 15 * * * /home/cuser/custom-scripts/cron-backups.sh>/dev/null 2>&1'

Of course, the shell script has 775 permisions, weirdo thing is that the command can be runned ok from the standar shell, but under cron it just doesnt run... do you think it could be due the use of YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM input switches on the 'rar' program or the '-mtime +365' argument used in find command passed to the cron-backups.sh script?

This is the 'cron-backups.sh' shell script:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
#
find /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-OM -type f -mtime +365 | xargs rm -f;
rar a -k -rr3%% -dh -m2 -y -pMyPassword -hpMyPassword -tk -o+ -t -ep1 -agYYYY-MM-DD_HHMM /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-OM/OMBACKUP- /mnt/mounted-nas1/OrderManager;
find /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-QB -type f -mtime +365 | xargs rm -f;
rar a -k -rr3%% -dh -m2 -y -pMyPassword -hpMyPassword -tk -o+ -t -ep1 -agYYYY-MM-DD_HHMM /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-QB/QBBACKUP- /mnt/mounted-nas1/Shared/QBook;
cp -f -r -u /mnt/mounted-nas1/. /home/nas2/workware-mirror/;
find /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-SNAPSHOT -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f;
rar a -k -v1900m -sv- -rr3%% -dh -m1 -y -pMyPassword -hpMyPassword -tk -o+ -ep1 -s -md512 -agYYYY-MM-DD_HHMM /mnt/usb-storage/MyCompany-SERVER-SNAPSHOT/WORKWARE-SNP- /mnt/mounted-nas1;
find /mnt/usb-storage/POS-SERVER-MAINTENANCE -type f -mtime +90 | xargs rm -f
[/code]

thanks in advance.
