zip command in shell script doesn't work via crontab-CodePudding

I have a simple shell script that copies a folder, zips it, then deletes the original folder.

#!/bin/bash

today=$(date  %m-%d-%Y)

cp -R /data /perf_backup/
/bin/zip -r data-"$today".zip data
rm -rf data

Works fine when I manually run it. The end result is a single zip file as expected.

However when cron job runs, only the initial data directory is there. As if everything after the initial folder copy is ignored.

Crontab is simply

* * * * 1-5 /opt/backup_data_folder.sh

This is on Oracle Linux Server 7.9 (ie CentOS)

CodePudding user response：

#!/bin/bash

today=$(date  %m-%d-%Y)

cd /perf_backup/
cp -R /data ./data_backup
zip -r data-"$today".zip data_backup
rm -rf data_backup
