We have modified our script to run from Webmin and I added two lines to the script so that file and group ownership is reset to koha. Here is the shell script we are running now. I did change the cron job to run as Koha, but the extra lines are a bit of insurance. #!/bin/bash export PERL5LIB=/koha/bbmkoha/lib/ perl /koha/bbmkoha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v echo "changing owner and group in /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register to koha chown koha /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register/* chgrp koha /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register/* ls -al /var/lib/bbmkoha/zebradb/biblios/register/ John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

The simplest thing would be to have the script check to see if it was being run as root and fail loudly in that case. --joe ________________________________ This inbound email has been scanned for malicious software and transmitted safely to you using Webroot Email Security. ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including all attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
