vb4 - vb_backup.sh fails

[jesusdavid]

Hello,

I have a cron set to run every day at 3 am. cPanel sometimes emails me this output:

/home/******/vb_backups/vb_backup.sh: line 52: 1475 Killed $gzipcmd $database

What does this mean, and why is that?

What is on line 52 of your script?

[jesusdavid]

its not my script, its what vbulletin gave me when i downloaded it.... i have not made any changes other than the path to my config file. however, it is:

case "$1" in
	backup)
		if [ -n "$dbpassword" ]
		then
			passwordinfo=-p$dbpassword
		fi
		$mysqldumpcmd -h$servername -u$dbusername $passwordinfo --add-drop-table --add-locks --all --extended-insert --quick --compress $dbname > $database
		$gzipcmd $database
	;;

	*)
		echo "vb_backup.sh: Database backup script for vBulletin 3."
		echo "Please use the following command to backup your vBulletin database:"
		echo "./vb_backup.sh backup"
	;;
esac
exit 0

starting on line 52 ends on 68

I have never used it. You should ask questions about a default script over on vbulletin.com. Please see this sticky - Installation Issues / Questions or bug reports regarding default vBulletin 4.0
