Resolved Zip command with password not running

[Ayki]

Zip command is not working when used from the task scehedular. Althougt the same line of code runs as expected from ssh terminal. Does anyone have a work around please?
Zip -j -R password /zipFolder /files

How does it not work when you run it as a scheduled task? Do you get an error?

Too me it only looks like the -P flag is missing from your command for setting for setting a password. Other than that it should work. If it doesn't you might want to check the user you use to run the scheduled task.

Thanks for your reply. Yes -P flag needed. Further investiging this I realised the file naming convention was creating this error. I have daily automated reports dumped into a folder. The zip command set to find and zip the files for the actual day repeating daily.
Once this issue is fixed ( files to be zip correctly identified) the problem gone away all seems to be working.
And yes user permissions are set correctly.
Many thanks again
