[NTLUG:Discuss] freebsd pisses me off

[Jay Urish]

Guys, I need some help.

I am trying to kick off an rsync job from crontab on a freebsd box.
My entry in crontab looks like this:
30 17 * * 1 root /etc/cronjobs/wednesday.backup


/etc/cronjobs/wednesday.backup contains this:

#!/bin/sh
rsync -vau --stats --delete /mnt/rdl-pdc-D/
/mnt/daily/rdl-pdc/wednesday/ | /bin/sendEmail -f nas at rdlsupply.com -t
jurish at rdlsupply.com -u "Wednesday backup" -s mail.rdlsupply.com
>/dev/null &

I can kick it off from the command line and it works great!
The complaint? When cron kicks it off, all I get is an empty email and 
rsync dies.


I don't get it..

Does anybody have any suggestions?
