- I want to make a backup of some files every night, so I looked at
- cron and started
-
- crontab mycronfile
-
- with mycronfile:
-
- 30 2 * * 0 /home/rolf/bin/mybackup -basic
- 30 2 * * 1-6 /home/rolf/bin/mybackup -update
- 10 * * * * /home/rolf/bin/testcron
-
- Each command was executed one time (the correct time), but as I think
- it should run every time (the testcron should run every hour for
- example). It doesn't!
-
- Any suggestions welcome. Please answer by email, I'll summarise if
- there is interest.
-
- Thanks, Rolf
