Hi,

I have noticed the following behavior of dasalvager:
(Tested on RHEL5 + RHEL6 with openafs-1.6.2 + openafs-1.6.4)

Salvaging a RW-volume on a DAFS server like the following works fine:
/usr/afs/bin/dasalvager -partition PARTITION -volumeid RW-VOLID -showlog -f=
orceDAFS -debug
Putting this into a script and execute the script from CMD-line works also =
fine.
# /tmp/salvage.sh

07/08/2013 16:12:59 Salvaged A.e.seka (536912830): 338 files, 481 blocks

But executing the script from cron doesn't work.
Here the output from the scripts:

(RHEL5 openafs-1.6.4)

ger -partition /vicephf -volumeid 536912830 -showlog -forceDAFS -debug

Same behavior (RHEL6 openafs-1.6.2)
@(#) OpenAFS 1.6.2 built  2013-02-22
07/08/2013 10:02:01 STARTING AFS SALVAGER 2.4 (/usr/afs/bin/dasalvager -par=

S -debug

Is there any chance to get this also running via cron?

-- Kind regards

                            Ralf
