[comp.sys.dec] remote dumps started via cron

Hello world,
we have the following problem:

We've a VAXStation3100 and some DECStations3100 (running under Ultrix V3.1/
UWS2.1) and want to hold a copy of some drive partitions of the VAX on
a DECStation drive. We need this because the SCSI bus of the VAX is
already populated to its limit.

We tried to do this with:
dump 0uf - filesystem | rsh dec "(cd /backup ; restore xf - )"

This resulted in an 'open("/dev/tty"): no such device or address" error.

The same problem exists, if we tried to run dump,restore from a batch
job that is started by cron.

Has anybody experiences with this problem, maybe some solutions ?

Regards,
Wolfgang Barth
