[oclug] rsync, ssh, and cron

[Dave Edwards]

I've created a cron job to regularly backup a remote directory.  The
command looks like:
su - dle -c 'rsync -e ssh -aqz www.foo.bar:/usr/websites/foo.bar/www
/home/dle/projects/foo/'

However, something there -- either rsync or ssh -- does not like it.
Something about being run by cron is tripping it up, as the command
works fine when I run it by hand.  I receive the error output via
local email: standard in must be a tty.

This has the earmarks of a self-kicker, but I need a little help to
get there.

Thanks,
Dave.
