I have a script which uses scp as root to do some syncing tasks. All
it does is scp stuff from a remote machine to mine.
The machine is a Redhat 8.0 with Openssh and key chain for key
management.
I can run the script from the command line and it works fine.
Unfortunately when I cron it, all I get is permission denied. I added
it using crontab -e as root.
