Re: rsync from a cron script [SOLVED]
Mike whenever you see Permission denied it means the calling function
lacks the proper ownership to use this funtion. Do some detective work and
find out what user(s) can call rsync. I bet it's just root who can do it.
Make sure cron is acting for root.
Or I am all wet. That happens a lot...:-)
