[Dar-support] dar does not work when started with cron

[Timo M. <ta...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have a really strange problem with my dar script:

>----
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/mnt/daten/backupdisk"
FILE=${DIR}/all-`/bin/date +%F_%R`
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch 720 ${DIR}
cd ${DIR}
/usr/bin/dar -v -z -m 256 -D -R / -c ${FILE} \
    -Z "*.gz" -Z "*.bz2" -Z "*.zip" -Z "*.png" -Z "*.jpg" \
    -Z "*.mpeg" -Z "*.mpg" -Z "*.mov" -Z "*.avi" \
    -P tmp -P mnt -P dev -P proc -P sys -P var/tmp -P usr/src \
    -P var/cache/squid -P diotoo/files/.recycle \
    -P usr/portage/distfiles \
>----

When I start it from the command line it runs fine and produces a dar
archive of about 8.5GB, but when it's started by cron:

>----
5 0 * * * /root/bin/dar-all
>----

it runs for only about 30 minutes, the archive is about 2.5GB and it's
broken. Any ideas?

serv5 backupdisk # dar -t all-2006-07-28_00\:05
FATAL error, aborting operation
Badly formated terminator, cannot extract catalogue location
