Hi
I'm trying to understand the syntax for a cron job that I'd like to
run once a day. I've put a script into /usr/bin which will create a
tape archive once a day and then drop it into a CD with CD-Record.
The script works fine but I can't get cron to run the script which is
called backup and is in /usr/bin/backup. Would the syntax be
something like this to run at 7.00 p.m. at night ? ...
14 0 * * * root /usr/bin/backup
Probably not but some help would be welcome. Read the man pages and
other docs. Didn't make a lot of sense to me.
Thank you
