Default install puts zfs-auto-snapshot.sh in unfindable directory. #47

The script is by default placed in /usr/local/sbin, which is not included in the path specified in the included crontab files.

From /etc/cron.d/zfs-auto-snapshot:

PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

Either the default install location needs to be changed, or /usr/local/sbin needs to be included in that path...

I just found this as well. Getting e-mails from my server.

Yep, that's the one. My workaround was: cd /usr/sbin sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/zfs-auto-snapshot .

Either the link becomes redundant or is overwritten, either way it's harmless.

Another workaround is installing with

make install PREFIX=/usr
