[clue] [TECH] rsync command runs from command line but not via cron

[Shawn Perry]

I'm just checking...  the IP 0.0.0.0 has been changed to protect the
innocent, right?

Lets try this:
echo the rsync command so it will show up on the log.
"echo RSYNC Exit Code: $?" after the rsync in your cron job

That leaves you with this:

#!/bin/sh
echo '****************************************'
echo 'BEGIN BACKUP'
date
echo '****************************************'

# ssh uses public/private key authentication
echo /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/rsync/rsync -avz -e 'ssh -i
/root/rsync-key' --rsync-path=/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/rsync/rsync
root at 0.0.0.0:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares /mnt/DroboFS/
/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/rsync/rsync -avz -e 'ssh -i /root/rsync-key'
--rsync-path=/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/rsync/rsyncroot at 0.0.0.0:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares
/mnt/DroboFS/
echo rsync exit code: $?

echo '****************************************'
echo 'END BACKUP'
date
echo '****************************************'
