Bug Description
I'm trying to sync a folder across two machines at regular intervals on a local network using Unison with this command:
unison RogStuff -batch
I can run the Unison job from the command line without problem.
When I schedule the job as a one-time event in Gnome-schedule it runs without problem.
When I run the job manually from Gnome-schedule's Configure Scheduled Tasks window it runs without problem
When I schedule the job as a recurring task in Gnome-schedule IT DOES NOT WORK..
However, if I schedule local folders to be synced with Unison they will run as a recurring task.
To post a comment you must log in.
I am unfamiliar with Unison, but it might be an issue with the authentication method you are using to access the remote machines? Otherwise, is it a graphical program? Does other graphical programs work on as recurrently scheduled tasks?
