#2 kbackup in cron scripts

[Anonymous]

I tried to launch kbackup in a cron script, but I get this error:

Initialising, phase 1...
checking for required source files in /usr/lib/kbackup...
restore_src backup_src blockdev_src verify_src autodetect_src

and after a while

afio: "-" [offset 3368972288m+5k+0]: Fatal error:
afio: "-": Broken pipe

The script launches something like
kbackup --ttymode --auto-backup myconfigfilename

The script works well if launched manually from the terminal. It fails
launched by cron. Is there some enviroment variable that has to be
set?

Thanks a lot,

Just to let you know that executing in cron fails even with tar option
instead of afio.

Hope it helps.
