I am trying to back up a folder on a web server from a file server. I have tested it manually and it works without me needing to enter a password for the SSH connection. When I put it in the crontab and wait a while however, nothing happens and it's hard to debug the problem when there's no output at all. My crontab looks like this:   01 * * * * sftpadmin rsync --delete -avh --progress -e ssh /home/sftpadmin/www/html jobhandler@10.5.5.16:/var/www/   EDIT: Probably should have mentioned I am trying to get the script to run every minute.   EDIT 2: This question isn't a duplicate because the supposed duplicate linked is just an advice article of many different reasons why a cron job might be going wrong. My specific case might not be in that article. I have gone through most things in that article and I still cannot get it to work.

Script to raise a single window to the front What is the term when a word is used consecutively twice, with intentional stress placed on the first word, as a means to alter the severity of the word's meaning?  I am not referring to a  (had had) or a  (that that), but to the slightly sarcastic use as demonstrated in shows like Seinfeld. Sample sentences, with emphasis:  I know we're going out to eat, but I am only going to pick at an appetizer because I'm not hungry hungry. Don't wear something so formal to the party; I don't think you need to be dressed dressed.  Of personal note, some of my relatives decided a few years ago to nick-name the term a &quot;Celaine&quot; (a combination of their names) due to their own frequent use of it. Note: This question explicitly requests the term of art used by linguists and English scholars when discussing this phenomenon. This question is different from a  which requests a historical explanation for the phenomenon described by this term. None of the answers to the suggested duplicate provide the term.  The author of the similar question requests the term for the pattern in a comment, but does not receive an acceptable answer. The only mention of an acceptable term is in a comment made by the author of this question, in response to the author of the similar question, directing back to this very question.

I want to make this into a shortcode so that I can use it anywhere where appropriate.  Any suggestions?  Thanks. Error validating geometry collection / multipolygon in PostGIS I want to prove or disprove this problem: If there exist $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow \infty} (f'(x)+f(x))=L&lt;\infty$ then $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty} f(x) =L$.  When I assume problem below:  If there exist $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty} (f'(x)+f(x)) =L&lt;\infty$, There exists $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty} f(x)$?  I can use mean-value theorem to show that.  So my question is:     If $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty} (f'(x)+f(x))=L&lt;\infty$, does $\lim\limits_{x\rightarrow\infty} f(x)$ exist?

Bind application to a specific network interface Are recommendation questions an acceptable kind of list-type question or should they be closed? Recommendations are a recurring topic on multiple Stack Exchange (SE) sites. Some sites allow recommendations (ex: ), some do not (ex: ). There are many reasons for that and I can still remember animated discussions on this subject on the Gaming meta. Then there is that existential problem with Sci-Fi SE, &quot;What problems does answering a question on this site solve?&quot;  The only common problem I can think of is What to read/watch next?, which obviously led to a big number of recommendation questions, later slightly disguised as list question. And the main trouble with these questions isn't objectivity at all, some of them aren't even subjective. It's the fact that they don't have an answer - they are open ended. -  Those questions are monstrously popular because:  There's an actual problem to be solved,  or  This problem is quite common.  In view of the  blog post, a recommendation question fails the &quot;real questions have answers, not items or ideas or opinions.&quot; criteria. But it's still a &quot;practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. &quot; and it requires expertise to answer. The problem is that there are multiple acceptable answers, and the asker is not the best person to evaluate the best answer because he doesn't know which one is the best compared to the others, and he cannot test it in short term. Even the need to accept an answer is questionable. So, is a recommendation question an acceptable kind of list-type question or should it be closed just like any other list-type questions? Can I enter the Schengen area with a German long-term visa through a different country? I am an Indian national. Right now I am staying in Israel. I will be moving to Germany on the last week of this month with german national visa directly from tel aviv. Ticket price of direct flight is high. So I am thinking to buy either Air France or LOT for travelling having layover at Paris or Poland. Am I allowed to do that? I mean is it mandatory to enter in Germany first? May I travel with these airlines with proper transit visa? Inconsistency in display of animated avatars It has been discussed previously that animated avatars are disliked because they cause a distraction from the content. However, currently animated avatars are not treated consistently.   On desktop, animated avatars are displayed as a still image, both in posts and on the profile page. On mobile, animated avatars are displayed as a still image in posts, but animated on the profile page.   I'm tagging this  because I'm guessing one of these two is unintended. Either avatars should animate on the profile page on both desktop and mobile, or on neither. (I sincerely hope that we are all agreed there should be no animation of avatars in posts.)  Example animated profile    This appears to animate on mobile, and show a still image on desktop (for myself and for other users who have tried).    I'd also like to hear arguments for and against animating only on the profile page, but the main purpose of this post is to clear up the inconsistency. text processing rows to columns for a block What would be the the mathematical equivalent of this excel formula? =PMT() I need to create a JavaScript form that does the same calculation as this =PMT() function.   mortgage = 220000 rate= 4.75% term = 30   The example formula I have is =PMT(4.75%/12,30*12,220000*-1)  What would be the equation for this function?
