Adding cron job for backup.sh

[prxbl]

Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 + VestaCP and I'm trying to create a cron job for a script located at /root/backup.sh

Code: Select all

sudo bash /root/backup.sh

The error message I'm getting when the cron runs is:

Code: Select all

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Seeing this I went to sudo visudo and added the following line:

Code: Select all

root ALL = NOPASSWD: /root/backup.sh

I still get the same error when the cron runs, any suggestions?
Thanks!

I have some ;-)

Check this:

Code: Select all

ls -la /root/backup.sh
chmod +x /root/backup.sh

If it's fail, then more ideas ->

Thank you for the suggestions, unfortunately no progress.

Code: Select all

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 758 Aug 17 14:28 /root/backup.sh

I have set SSH Access:bash within VestaCP and I'm still getting the same error:

Code: Select all

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Check your sudo from your user (admin, right?)

I tried running these commands:

mkdir /etc/sudoers.d
/usr/local/vesta/upd/add_sudo.sh
chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
chown root:root /etc/sudoers
chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/admin
chown root:root /etc/sudoers.d/admin
chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo

I still get the same error from cron. If I try to run the script as root from console, it works ok.

Log to ssh, use user admin and try sudo your command

[prxbl]

Code: Select all

bash: /root/backup.sh: Permission denied

Also I don't have permission to create the script as user admin under /home/admin/web/domain.com/
I can create the file inside public_html directory but that would make it public and I don't want that.

You have permission, if you use sudo ->

Code: Select all

sudo nano /root/backup.sh
sudo chmod +x /root/backup.sh
sudo bash /root/backup.sh

Sorry but I'm not following here: If I use sudo on the admin user I have the same problem, it works from console because it asks for password and I am entering it but when cron tries to run it:

Code: Select all

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

[skurudo]

From root

Code: Select all

bash /usr/local/vesta/upd/add_sudo.sh

and check.
