SOLVED s3cmd setup issues

[Nasha]

Hi all,

Recently installed the s3cmd plugin, and i can't for the life of me get it to actually work unattended.

Using the UI, i enter all the required details - It says settings saved & cron updated. However no changes are made to the crontab...

I can manually push files no problem. So i created a script, put it in the crontab within the s3cmd jail, but still no love (actually seems like the cron jobs aren't even running)

Anyone have any suggestions, or tips on something im missing with this plugin?

Were you able to figure this out?

Nope!

Any clues... Assistance... Ideas... Anyone?

Anybody have it working without hassle?

I've narrowed it down to 1. The crontab doesn't appear to be running inside the jail 2. The UI doesn't appear to update the default s3run_script.sh (had default values when i reinstalled the plugin)

Ok, got it sorted... As per: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/cron-job-inside-jail.14478/
"your syntax is wrong. Unless you use the system crontab (/etc/crontab) the username field should not be specified."

By default, the cron job created by the plugin specifies a username, so i continued with that syntax

I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to setup this plugin. The learning curve is pretty tough on the plugins in general, without any documentation I don't have a shot.. Be great if in the plugin tab there were included instructions besides just install button. Any links or help on this would be appreciated....

Cheers
