./zmbak_v.0.5.sh: line 775: /usr/share/man/man1p/uuencode.1p.gz: cannot execute binary file
The clue is the /path/file in the error message. An early part of the script runs
Code:
whereis uuencode | awk '{print $2}'
to locate the absolute paths for the uuencode binary but on your system this search is returning part of the manpages system instead. I'm 99.999% certain the cause is that you don't have uuencode installed. If you're using CentOS (like I was) running "yum install sharutils" will add /usr/bin/uuencode so that the correct binary is found and used by the script. If you're using Ubuntu then "apt-get install sharutils" (as root) does the same thing.
