[ALUG] Setting Crons on FreeBSD

[Andreas Tauscher]

Have you checked the mails for root?
Output of the script you will not find in the logfile it is sent by mail.
If there are no mails then set MAILTO=root in the crontab.

Next if a script is running from a interactive shell does not mean it
will run as cron job. The environment might be different.
When you test the script set the environment identical to cron's
So run as root (or what ever user you set in crontab)
env -i SHELL=<from /etc/contab> PATH=<from /etc/contab> HOME=<user home>
LOGIN=<login name> /etc/rsync.sh
