Error from cron: Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt

[ice-pro]

I have wordpress blog. In cPanel I have configured a cron expression to run all scheduled wordpress jobs.
Daily it runs backups using "updraftplus" but after each run I am getting the following email

----

Is this harmful? How this can be fixed?

Hello @ice-pro


What kind of filesystem is the backup being transported to? Does this happen to be an NFS mount?

hi @cPanelLauren,
in fact the target is Google Drive, but I suspect plugin may use local FS temporary for making archives.

The local FS wouldn't be NFS normally but if so we don't support it and it could be why you're getting that error. In all instance I've seen that error before it's a result of a filesystem issue where the filesystem doesn't support flock

Hello,
I'm having the same issue on a WordPress cron task. I get this mail:
Subject: Cron <example@server1...> /usr/local/bin/php /home/example/public_html/wp-cron.php /dev/null 2>&1
Body: Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Filesys/Mounts.pm line 206.

I use the WP plugin Updraft Plus which is set to send backups through FTP and now the FTP server is temporally down, so I think that's the problem, Updraft cannot send the backup files to the remote destination.

Hope it helps.

@mlopez - are things working well after the FTP server was back online?
