/scripts/cpbackup typo or bug (needs attention) [10.8.1-C41]

[Danny_T]

Last week i get this in the conjob report of cpbackup:

Try `tar --help' for more information.
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' for more information.
pkgacct started.
pkgacct version 4.1 - running with uid 0
using time::hires for speedups
Copying Reseller Config...Done


In this script i see :
#!/usr/bin/perl
# cpanel10 - cpbackup Copyright(c) 1997-2005 cPanel, Inc.
# All rights Reserved.
[lot lines down]

cpusystem('tar',"--exclude='*/proc'",'cfzp',"$target/dirs/$rawdir.tar.gz",$dir);

Thats wrong

Must be :

cpusystem('tar','cfzp',"$target/dirs/$rawdir.tar.gz",$dir,"--exclude='*/proc'");

Then it works again but! after daily /scripts/upcp running job :

If you had searched the forums for that error you would have seen that it's already been reported and is fixed in the latest EDGE release (see the change log).

Not all people running EDGE, so update CURRENT too then ppl are happy too, at the time i did look at the Changelog link in whm it was not noted yet (now it is)

And i thought i was first one that had this problem because i did find any posts about this at the time i found it. So i thought its been a few days so lets post my findings.

So, update CURRENT too until then i am unhappy.
