Thread: unison run from cron fails

hey all,

have unison set (using .unison/default.prf config file) sync directories on work computer home computer.

if run unison commandline works expected:

code:

unison -batch -silent

i set run crontab under user run each night @ 1am:

code:

# m h  dom mon dow   command    0 1  *   *   *     /usr/bin/unison -batch -silent

...but seems fail each night... shown .unison/unison.log:

code:

fatal error: lost connection server  fatal error: lost connection server  fatal error: lost connection server

each "fatal error..." line corrasponds each night cron attempted run unison.

have idea going on here?

hi, try redirecting output log file:

code:

  0 1  *   *   *     /usr/bin/unison -batch -silent > /home/you/unisoncron.log 2>&1
