I have a backup script I made. It works prefect in ssh.

But when I try to run it as a cron, I get the following error:

Code: 
Error: MYSQL not found

This is the code in the script:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

MYSQL="$(which mysql)"
if [ -z "$MYSQL" ]; then
    echo "Error: MYSQL not found"
    exit 1
fi


and I have tried 2 different cron commands:


/home/username/script.sh
and also
/bin/sh /home/username/script.sh


any ideas?


thanks,
Brian
 
Did you install the cron as root with crontab-e ?
or as a user in the DA panel ?
 
user in DA panel



Side-note: is there a way to turn off these "Random Questions".

This is on a shared server and I do not have root access.

Well should be 755 actually... but should worka swell at 777 (depend on server settings) and is less secure.
Have you tryed contact your hosting provider?
