Re: sftp script running through crontab

I'm not entirely sure what the error is but most likely you're crontab's shell variables are not set correctly. Set you're SHELL, PATH, HOME, etc just to be sure. I'm sure someone else knows the real problem and solution, but this is just my suggestion :) TooManyMirrors

This is the script that I am using.

DIR="/DIR"

LOG=aaa.gz

for i in `cat $list`

/usr/local/bin/sftp account@hostname <<EOF>/dev/null

           cd $i/$DIR
           lcd $i/$LDIR
           mput $LOG
           quit

The system is HP-UX.

Now the problem I am having is that when running this directly it executes
without a problem, yet when this is executed though cron it comes with the
following error.

Do you need help?
