What, exactly, is "the ssh backup in com"?
Some (invisible) shell script?

uname -a

Some program (GNU "tar"?) would like to ask
you a question and get an answer, but if you
run this thing as a non-interactive job (as a
"cron" job, for example), then you would have
no terminal where the question-and-answer
session can happen.

Hi,
Can you post the script here.

while running any script from corn you need to give full absulate path for each command.

>I run in debug mode by the following command and I got the output pasted here.

It would help if you attached sshbackup so we can see the comments and match the debug output to the source.

I don't see your initial error messages.
It would help if you put "sh -x /soft/backup/bin/sshbackup: in your crontab, or simply add "-x" on your "#!/usr/bin/sh" line.

Hi Sunil,

This is the scrip we are running in corm, i am attaching the script.


Thanks,

vinay

[Prasanth V Aravind]

when you getting error ??

from cron or from shell prompt ??

here i am not able to see any error when you run it on debug mode.

It appears you are getting all the way down to $SSH and then it is hanging/waiting.
echo "$HOSTNAME $BACKUPTYPE ($COUNT files) backup-${BACKUPTYPE}-${DIRB}" | $SSH -l root -o "hostname=${BACKUP_SRV}" -q -i /soft/backup/etc/backup-server-ssh-key-log
