AWS S3 Sync command getting automatically terminated when ran from Cron.

[saran3668]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to sync EC2 server directory with s3 bucket, I am using following command to do that "nice -n 15 /usr/local/bin/aws s3 sync /mnt/s3/ s3://$BUCKET/ 2>&1 >> synch.log" my problem is, if i manually execute the above command sync is happening. The same command if add it in a script and set up a cronjob, its automatically getting terminated. Could you guys help me out to run the command recursively and fixing this weird problem??

Your credentials are probably being configured through $HOME/.aws/credentials, the problem is that cron does not share your user home directory and thus it has no access to credentials. You'll need to setup credentials for the cron job.

Hi Jordon,

Pardon me for the delay in my response and also thanks for responding to my query.
I configured the credentials part in the cron like below,

AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/home/ubuntu/.aws/credentials   
24 11 * * * /home/ubuntu/s3logbkup.sh 2>&1

I also see there was no problem with credentials part, as the log is getting disconnected in between
the transmission have attached the part of log,

Completed 202 part(s) with ... file(s) remaining^Mupload: ../../mnt/s3/logc1/localhost_log..2016-10-25.txt to s3://s3lbackup/logc1/localhost_log..2016-10-25.txt Completed 203 part(s) with ... file(s) remaining

Please correct me if I am Wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Could you try using --debug? There should be more info in there to tell us what's going on.
