Hi all,
I am in the process of automating the backups from various servers to a central point then pushing those config changes into a git repo so
i can track any changes over time. The rest of the scripts are working well,
I can copy / rsync the files across the network to a central point. The last script is to get the config files to be put into / updated in repository. The script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
clear
SERVERNAME="betty"
SCRIPTDIR="/home/jon"
GITROOT="/tmp/git"
TEMPROOT="/tmp/backups"
BACKUPROOTDIR="/mnt/backups"
echo " - running as user: $UID"
echo "backingup git config on $SERVERNAME"
echo ""
# check to see if root backup folder exists, otherwise create it.
if [ -d $GITROOT ]; then
rm -rf $GITROOT
fi
mkdir $GITROOT
cd $GITROOT
echo " - testing if home is where
I think it should be!"
echo $HOME
echo " - testing if it can see netrc"
tail $HOME/.netrc
git clone http://192.168.10.97:8000/repositories/HOH-config-backups.git
cd HOH-config-backups
echo " - copy Configuration Folders across"
cp -r $BACKUPROOTDIR/Configuration/* $GITROOT/HOH-config-backups/
cp -r $BACKUPROOTDIR/scripts $GITROOT/HOH-config-backups/
git add .
git commit -a -m "committing any new configuration changes!"
git push origin master
echo ""
echo "Git repo updated"
echo ""
echo " - backing up this script"
FIREWIGSCRIPTLOC="$BACKUPROOTDIR/scripts/$SERVERNAME"
if [ ! -d $FIREWIGSCRIPTLOC ]; then
mkdir $FIREWIGSCRIPTLOC
fi
cp /home/jon/gitConfig.sh $FIREWIGSCRIPTLOC
The git repo is on a different machine in the network using Apache and HTTP-backend.exe (smart HTTP protocol). If
I run this script as me "jon" it works. If
I run it in crontab it fails. git uses the /home/jon/.netrc file for authentication:
machine 192.168.10.97
login gitconfig
password 1234579
The log from crontab is:
TERM environment variable not set.
- running as user: 1000

I think it should be!
/home/jon
- testing if it can see netrc

my crontab is:
# m h dom mon dow command
04 * * * * /home/jon/gitConfig.sh > /tmp/gitconfig.log 2>&1
I open it by doing:
$crontab -e
i.e. not as root.
I am a bit confused as to why it is not running as my user (or what user id 1000 is). Not sure what
I need to do to get the push with git to work within crontab.
edit:
found out about the userid:
jon@betty:~$ id
uid=1000(jon) gid=1000(jon) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),109(sambashare),114(lpadmin),115(admin),1000(jon)
here is my $HOME/.gitconfig file:
[user]
name = Jon Hawkins
email =

Thanks
