Description of my issue:
I am trying to have a cron job override the amazon key and secret key with the cron job:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/allrigh1/public_html/cli/akeeba-backup.php --profile=1 --override='engine.postproc.s3.accesskey=my access key' --override='engine.postproc.s3.secretkey=my secret key' (no line breaks)

The log file shows an error, so maybe that is it. If the cron does not override the configuration, it works as expected.

thanks
Neil

Thanks Nicholas,

The -q is quite mode. I removed it and got some interesting messages:

Configuration variables overriden in the command line:
engine.postproc.s3.secretkey, 0

"Configuration variables overriden in the command line:
engine.postproc.s3.secretkey, 0"

does this mean the secretkey is 0? If so, something is not getting passed along.

additionally, at the end of the log it said that the accesskey was missing, even though I entered it in the cron string. Both the access and secret keys are in single quotes if that matters.

same problem with double quotes

I copied your script and put the accesskey and secretkey in, and got the same result, nothing sent to amazon.

The attached is the email I received showing what happened. The subject line is the cron job line with the amazon security keys (I have changed them).

I will ask on siteground as well, but do you have any ideas as to what is happening?

It seems to be working now after reinstalling.

Interestingly, the profile id recorded in the cron job summary is not the one that ran.

thanks
