I am not sure if there is a better place to ask this question. I have a
shell script (single line):
rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/cron/web-rsync-key" /usr/home/
ro...@10.0.0.232:/usr/home > /etc/rsync/output
which works fine if I run it from a prompt as:
./etc/rsync/sync
and produces output as expected to file /etc/rsync/output.
crontab contains (single line):
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root /etc/rsync/sync
Cron log shows:
Mar 7 15:40:02 web /usr/sbin/cron[66012]: (root) CMD (/etc/rsync/sync)
BUT, output contains nothing (assuming I reset it to that before cron
executes the job.
Any ideas or a better place to ask this or a way to debug it?
Thanks,

Cron I recall does not have /usr/local/bin in path ?.
Try either
/usr/local/bin/rsync
or add local to PATH

Common problem would be rsync is not in $PATH and you didn't specified
full path. Try either adding it into PATH on the crontab, or using
full path and see if that helps?
