Hi all,
I have one server in particular that is running a common backup script =
with output and errror redirection:
tar cvf $TAPE \
/usr /u1 /u2 /opt \
/build /etc /export /TT_DB \
>> $LOG \
2> $ERR
Instead of following the redirects as indicated, the error and output =
are spent via mail to root. any ideas what I should check?
Thanks,
Karl
