[10-15-04 18:43]: I have a simple problem that I'm sure has a simple answer but I don't seem to be able to figure it out. Where the heck do you put a crontab that is to run as root? (It's running rdiff-backup nightly.) Any assistance will be appreciated.
in a root shell (ie: as root) issue: crontab -e
That will work, of course, but I find it more convenient to create a crontab in a local file ~/mycrontab (in this case /home/root/mycrontab) and then do: crontab ~/mycrontab crontab -l # check that it worked Paul
