Thanks Alan, Good call about the path thing. I also forgot about the ssh prompt to accept a new ssh key, which obviously can't be seen, so copied the known_hosts file from another user to the freerad/.ssh folder and altered the permissions. Works fine now Thanks very much Andy -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+andy.franks=sath.nhs.uk@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+andy.franks=sath.nhs.uk@lists.freeradius.org] On Behalf Of Alan DeKok Sent: 02 October 2012 10:30 To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: exec module not seeming to run something Franks Andy (RLZ) IT Systems Engineer wrote:

The problem is it doesn’t work. I can run the script from a shell prompt and the backup functions fine, the variables outputting to the testssh.out file and the ssh command running ok. Freeradius fires the script off ok after an accounting session and the bits get written to the testssh.out file, including the PID of the ssh process but the command itself doesn’t work.

Am I missing something obvious (again)?
