I want automatic upgrade_export.


[Expert@MNGFW01]# crontab -e:

If I run commands without crontab all ok!
With crontab run upgrade_export but does not create anything!

What happens?
Where is the error?

And what does this have to do with firewalls?

1. uname -a
2. which cron
3. man cron
4. man crontab

Then add the following lines to this crontab:

52 12 * * * * set > /tmp/cron.environment.12.52
26 13 * * * * set > /tmp/cron.environment.13.26

and finally, run the command 'set > /tmp/my.environment

and then compare those three files in /tmp. You'll find that the
environment is quite different, and commands that you run in a cron
child process have no effect on _other_ child processes that may be
spawned by the parent. As you've decided to do this in cron, create
a single job that runs at a chosen time, such as

55 12 * * * run.this.silly.script

where 'run.this.silly.script' contains the actual commands

#!/bin/sh
cd /opt/CPsuite-R62/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools
echo | ./upgrade_export appoggio
oggi=`date`
mv appoggio.tgz.tar $oggi
scp $oggi root@172.28.121.16:/data/backup_2008

Incidentally, that is a rather interesting extension for a file 'tgz.tar'

For further help, try an appropriate UNIX newsgroup, or comp.unix.shell.
Do try to find a real news server first, as many people filter posts
from groups.google.com.

Because he is discussing an issue with Checkpoint upgrade_export
maybe.
I see he did go to www.cpug.org and asked the same question and got an
answer.

Barking at the wrong tree - his problem is a fundamental mis-understanding
of the UNIX 'cron' daemon, and has nothing to do with any firewall. His
post in this group continued:

If I run commands without crontab all ok!
With crontab run upgrade_export but does not create anything!

So there is nothing wrong with the commands (what ever they may be), but
they fail to run in his rather bizarre interpretation of what the manual
page says for 'crontab'. That's also why (after answering his question)
I suggested he look at an appropriate UNIX newsgroup, or comp.unix.shell.

He posted from googlegroups, and (like many) I filter those posts off
in a number of the other newsgroups I try to scan daily, but I also
see that he posted to (at least) 'comp.os.linux.misc' and got an answer
similar to the one I provided - run all of the commands out of a single
script, rather than running five independent (and unrelated) commands
out of root's crontab.

I edit script for backup:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/profile.d/CP.sh
cd /var/CPbackup/backups
echo | backup -d --file /var/CPbackup/backups/
scp fw_export pluto@172.29.198.23:/data/backup
exit 0

Can I exec the backup command without me being asked "Are you sure you
want to proceed?"
The command "echo |" not work !!!

Thanks
