Backup Script

[hatcher1981]

I am trying to get the backup script that comes with the admin resource kit to work on my RedHat EL 4 box. I followed the instructions on the sxbackup.pdf. When i get to the point of running the setup, i get the following message. I know i am probably missing something really easy.

./setup: line 5: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 20: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 39: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 54: dialog: command not found
./setup: line 67: dialog: command not found

It sounds like the file was converted to a DOS file. Did you edit it on your PC, then copy it back to your Linux box? If so, you'll need to type:

Code: Select all

dos2unix sxbackup.sh
chmod 755 sxbackup.sh


Thanks,
Rachel
