Hello,

The following script is working fine executing from shell. But does not work running on crontab.

How to fix this crontab issue?


################################################## ##########

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn /usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete /var/app/ user@somedomain:/var/app/
expect "Password:"
send "somepassword
"
interact

Thanks

Check the output of

$ env

when run in the crontab and in the shell.

Best regards,

I believe the "interact" line is messing you up; when "expect" sees that,
it wants a terminal or PTY to play with, and cron doesn't give it one.
