Two days ago I started receiving the following cron job alerts:

Cron <root@servername> run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

/etc/cron.hourly/backup_run_watch_dog:

/etc/cron.hourly/backup_run_watch_dog: line 7: html: No such file or directory
/etc/cron.hourly/backup_run_watch_dog: eval: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
/etc/cron.hourly/backup_run_watch_dog: eval: line 8: `<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
'

I googled "backup_run_watch_dog" and there were no results. Not a good start, which is why I'm wondering here if anyone is familiar with this error.

Cheers
 
What does this cron job look like? Post the contents of /etc/cron.hourly/backup_run_watch_dog.

Hopefully it is something harmless.
 
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Looks like it's my r1Soft backup check in script (provided by BackupRun.com in case anyone else Google's this). I'll check with my provider to see why it's going off the rails.

Cheers!
