Hello

I have peculiar problem. I use a script to automatically connect to a
remote server using ssh (Ver 3.x) for remote backup. The following
line may explain it.

ufsdump 0uf - | ssh username@hostname "dd of=/dev/rmt/0n"

It executes well in a terminal session. However, it crashes the system
while put in cron. Setting respective path and environment is taken
care in the script. The same script is running in other solaris 5.6
servers (but different hardware like netra and E250. This one is
E450). When this occurs, the system is not accessible from console
also. The following message repeatedly appears in the screen.
Warning : pci@1,f/4000 scsi@3 (gld0):
          scsi tagged cmd(s) time out error target 0.0

(This may not be accurate error as I write this out of my memory. But
it hasd scsi tagged comd(s) target 0.0). Hard booting the system
brings it up after fsck.

A search for this kind of problem in google did not get any hit. Any
one encountered this? Any help?

Thanks in advance.
