backup works from command line but not from script

straygrey · #1 (**permalink**) 06-18-09, 07:36

If I run the following backup command from the command line on Ubuntu 8.04 as root it works fine & does the backup but not if it is contained in a bash script run from root's cron.
I do not believe that file permissions is the problem, as files & folders belong to root.

Code:

mysqldump --add-drop-table -u root phplist > /ProductionBackups/phplist.backup.sql

Can someone please tell me why?

If it runs on the command line then the problem isn't with mysql. you should post this in a forum for ubuntu and see if they know.
