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 -- Richard
