Comment 1 for bug 451268

I found the problem: my crond runs scripts with /bin/sh. But the external commands backintime uses do not work with sh.

Now I run a two-lined script backup and it works:

----------
#!/bin/bash
export SHELL=/bin/bash
/usr/bin/backintime -b
----------

I think this problem can be fixed by internally overwriting $SHELL or even ignoring it and running the commands directly using bash.
