rsync script error

[rudysc]

I am running scripts based on cron, but the log file shows the error below. if i ran the script manually, the error does not appear and it syncs normally all files to the remote pc. any suggestion please?

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

rsync --stats -auvz -e "ssh -2" --delete --recursive --times -og /home/users/userXXXX userXXXXt@192.168.10.254:/home/users/

For some reason it's loosing connection during the cron job.
Try to run it as scheduled command and see if it behaves the same:

echo "rsync --stats -auvz -e "ssh -2" --delete --recursive --times -og /home/users/userXXXX userXXXXt@192.168.10.254:/home/users/" > rsync_script.sh
echo "sh rsync_script.sh" > start_rsync
cat start_rsync | at 3:00

P.S. It could be that it's waiting for password and then times out.

- i setup a passwordless scp/ssh from local. running it on the console works fine. i dont know the reason it was working fine before..
