Dear community,
I'm driving crazy with a strange issue.
I have a simple script to transfer a file to a remote system:
Between client and server there is a SSH KEY, so if I run the script from root terminal, the file is correctly transferred.
Now, I edit the root crontab to automatically execute this script, but the trasfer fails!! :wall:
Seems the SSH KEY doesn't work from root cron, because every time the script runs, the system send me the following mail:
Please, could someone explain me why from terminal works and from crontab doesn't work? :(
Many thanks
Lucas
