ok ok, i know google is my friend. i found this in case anyone else is in need of this information if i put this in cron it will run at 11pm on the last day of the month. this command just runs nightly at 11pm and if tomorrow is equal to 1, then run a command. if i put the command line statement to run a full backup in there it would run exactly when i wanted it too.
0 23 * * * if [ `/usr/local/bin/date +%d -d tomorrow` = 01 ] ; then your_command ; fi does anyone have any better ideas? i need to have a backup available for quite a long time and it needs to be at a specific time on a specific day(the last day of the month. also, what is the command to tell backuppc to run a full backup?
