sa-learn --backup
I've been running the above command as a cronjob nightly for years now
suddenly in the past few days I've been getting this as the output of
the cronjob:
bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/chris/.spamassassin/bayes_*
R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call
ERROR: Bayes backup returned an error, please re-run with -D for more
information
The command line I'm using is:
cd /home/chris/.spamassassin
/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --backup > /home/chris/SABackup/backup.txt
Running with -D shows nothing and running from the command line works
fine. What could be causing the error output?

Out of curiosity, is there a reason for the 'cd'? sa-learn gets the
database path from the config (or defaults to ~/.spamassassin/bayes).
The current directory is irrelevant.

Thanks, the cronjob ran ok last night, I'll keep an eye on it and check
the debug output next time it fails.

Have you tried changing the crontab entry to:
sa-learn -D --backup > /home/chris/SABackup/backup.txt 2>/home/chris/SABackup/debug
