I encountered the same problem with cron in 3.0.

I'll bet you're piping your backup data to rsh, eh?  Sorry, bunkie; rsh in 3.0
does not work under cron.  I spent several hours on this problem and fairly
conclusively proved that rsh just dies silently when it is run under cron.

Don't think of trying an old rsh from 2.1 and seeing if that will work; you'll
get a no such host name error.

I reported this bug to NeXT.  Judging from past performance, we can expect to
see this fixed sometime in 1995.  After all, 3.0 finally fixes some bugs we
reported in 0.8 days.
