s3cmd - no s3run_script.sh

[Fish in a Barrel]

I'm trying to use the s3cmd plugin to backup some data. I haven't found any guide on setting up this plugin, so I'm fumbling around in the dark here.

I've filled in the plugin configuration use the dialog launched from the GUI treeview with my S3 account info and sync target/source. I can pull up the dialog again and see all of the information, so it is being saved. I don't think it's being saved to the right places, though.

When I run crontab -l in the jail it shows that it is set to run, however there is no /var/run/s3run_script.sh in my jail, so nothing happens. I assume there must be a script somewhere since the information is still in the dialog. Any idea where the script might be?

The S3 account information is not in root's ~/.s3cfg, so I had to run s3cmd --configure to set up the root user for CLI use. Where does the dialog save this to? I'll probably make one file a symlink of the other.

Were you able to figure this out?

No.

S3cmd is pretty easy to set up, though, so I just created a jail, installed s3cmd, and created a cron job to run the sync command. Works perfectly.
