Thanks. Later, I will fix this issue in my computer and use with no absolute path. Hi Tim,

It sounds like the location of the svnadmin binary isn't in the PATH variable for the user you're running the cronjob as. You might try this:

Login as the cronjob user.

Type "echo $PATH" to see what directories the user has in the PATH variable.

Type "whereis svnadmin" to get the location of the svnadmin binary. It will probably return something like "/usr/bin/svnadmin".

If the directory to svnadmin isn't in your PATH variable, you can permanently add it by editing ~/.bash_profile and adding the directory to the PATH variable.

The other quick and dirty way to fix this would be to replace all calls to "svnadmin" in the svnbak.pl script with the absolute path to the binary (ie. "/usr/bin/svnadmin").

But when I configure cron to use it, it doesn't work. The error report says: "sh: line 1: svnadmin: command not found". I verified if was permissions problem, but, It was. Unfortunately I'm still working to resolve this issue, but if you have some ideas to help, I will appreciate. Thanks again. Hi,
