The following command in cron gives me a quotation error. Do I have
the --remote-schema argument wrong?:

Cron entry:
------------------
0 0 * * * sudo /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --print-statistics
--exclude-globbing-filelist /home/bry/backup/vic/exclude
--remote-schema "/usr/bin/ssh -C -i /home/bry/.ssh/id_rsa %s
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup --server" root < at > myip.net::/home
/home/bry/backup/vic/home

Error
-------------------
/bin/sh: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Hi Bryan,

I'm totally not sure about my idea (I don't know the options you use),
but it is worth a shot: maybe it is the double : you used in your
command. I think it should be one. Easy to try, I would say .
Hope this helps.

Best regards, Cybertinus

Per "man 5 crontab":

The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline or %
character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell
specified in the SHELL variable of the cronfile. Percent-signs
(%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be
changed into new-line characters, and all data after the first %
will be sent to the command as standard input.
