[cobalt-users] shell script for backup

["Jim Carey" <ozbcoz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've created a small script to do a backup of some files (based on Steve
Werby post):

#!/bin/sh
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.sites_1-9-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
/home/sites/site[1-9]/
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.sites_10-19-`date
+%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz /home/sites/site1?/
ls -aR1 --full-time / > /home/ref/file_list.txt
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.file_list-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
home/sites/file_list.txt/
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.spool-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
/home/spool/
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.root-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
/root/
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.named-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
/etc/named/
tar -cpvz -f /home/mybackups/daily/backup.httpd_conf-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz
/etc/httpd/conf/
cp /etc/aliases.addon /home/mybackups/daily/aliases.addon-`date +%Y-%m-%d`
cp /etc/sendmail.cw /home/mybackups/daily/sendmail.cw-`date +%Y-%m-%d`
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /home/mybackups/daily/sendmail.cf-`date +%Y-%m-%d`
cp /etc/virtusertable /home/mybackups/daily/virtusertable-`date +%Y-%m-%d`

i've put it in /usr/local/sbin - it has chmod of 755 - it has chown of
root.root
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          934 Oct  7 12:15 myback

when I try to execute it using /usr/local/sbin/myback it says :

[root@web ref]# /usr/local/sbin/myback
sh: /usr/local/sbin/myback: No such file or directory

what am I doing wrong ?

I can run it successfully as a php4 cgi by wrapping the commands in an
exec - but I just want to figure out my simple mistake - whatever it is
