Commands that function when manually entered and not when executed in script

[anndrewww]

The following functions perfectly when manually entered into a Termux session:

rsync -avz -e ssh XX@XXX.XXX.XXX:/home/XXX/Pictures/Snapshots /data/data/com.termux/files/home/downloads/Snapshots

The same command has been copied into an executable (chmod +x) script, but when I attempt to execute via the command line (./SyncSnapshots) or via the Tasker plugin, the following is returned:

via command line: bash: ./SyncSnapshots: Permission Denied

via Tasker plugin: exec("data/data.com.termux/files/home/.termux/tasker/SyncSnapshots"): Permission Denied

Sorry for the late reply here! I suspect that your SyncSnapshots file has a shebang like #!/bin/sh or similar which does not work under Termux, as Android does not have a /bin or /usr folder.

If it's a simple shell script, just remove the shebang. Otherwise run termux-fix-shebang SyncSnapshots to rewrite the shebang path before executing.
