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

[Brian Gibson]

It looks like specifying the full path to ssh did it.  Duh.  I'm just surprised 
it silently failed since output was being redirected to a file.

Could it be that you need to specify the path to ssh?

Unrelated since you can run by hand, I have a Solaris server that put rsync in 
some stupid path that 

isn't ever specified in the environment.  So from that machine I can use the 
full path to run rsync 

and go to a Linux machine just fine.

But I can't go from Linux to Solaris because when rsync gets there it tries to 
run rsync, which it 

can't find.

I'm sure there are ways around it, like setting the environment for ssh, or 
perhaps your 

--rsync-path.  But it wasn't that interesting a problem to solve.
