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.
