I create this four lines via crontab -e First and third just delete old backup if there any older than it is instructed in code Code: 17 2 * * * find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database -mtime +3 -type f -exec rm -f {} \; 27 2 * * * mysqldump --opt xenforo > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database/ssh_solo_`date +%d-%m-%Y---%H-%M`.sql 45 2 * * * find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files -mtime +0 -type f -exec rm -f {} \; 57 2 * * * tar -cf - /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public/ | gzip -c > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files/ssh_solo_files_`date +%d-%m-%Y---%H-%M`.tar.gz But nothing is happened. No files or database was backup. If I manually run this commands, backup is created OK. What is wrong? This is my cron log entries for that four cron lines: Code: Dec 16 02:17:01 tvor-ocean CROND[13142]: (root) CMD (find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database -mtime +3 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;) Dec 16 02:27:01 tvor-ocean CROND[13281]: (root) CMD (mysqldump --opt xenforo > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database/ssh_solo_`date +) Dec 16 02:45:01 tvor-ocean CROND[13432]: (root) CMD (find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files -mtime +0 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;) Dec 16 02:57:01 tvor-ocean CROND[13531]: (root) CMD (tar -cf - /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public/ | gzip -c > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files/ssh_solo_files_`date +)
try replacing the command with full path to command use which to find the pull path i.e. for find command full path = /bin/find Code: which find /bin/find Code: which gzip /bin/gzip
also putting commands in shell file might be easier and call that shell file from cron i.e. /root/tools/cleanup.sh place code Code: #!/bin/bash /bin/find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database -mtime +3 -type f -exec rm -f {} \; Code: chmod 0700 /root/tools/cleanup.sh cron Code: 17 2 * * * /root/tools/cleanup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
@eva2000 should this be OK? I added two full paths into fourth code (for tar and for gzip). Code: nano /root/tools/cleanup-database.sh #!/bin/bash /bin/find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database -mtime +3 -type f -exec rm -f {} \; nano /root/tools/cleanup-files.sh #!/bin/bash /bin/find /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files -mtime +0 -type f -exec rm -f {} \; nano /root/tools/backup-database.sh #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/mysqldump --opt xenforo > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_database/ssh_solo_`date +%d-%m-%Y---%H-%M`.sql nano /root/tools/backup-files.sh #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/tar -cf - /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/public/ | /bin/gzip -c > /home/nginx/domains/pijanitvor.com/backup/ssh_files/ssh_solo_files_`date +%d-%m-%Y---%H-%M`.tar.gz chmod 0700 /root/tools/cleanup-database.sh chmod 0700 /root/tools/cleanup-files.sh chmod 0700 /root/tools/backup-database.sh chmod 0700 /root/tools/backup-files.sh crontab -e 17 2 * * * /root/tools/cleanup-database.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 27 2 * * * /root/tools/backup-database.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 45 2 * * * /root/tools/cleanup-files.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 57 2 * * * /root/tools/backup-files.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
