Don't know about "recommended", but you can . prepend your cron script like (or have a wrapper): if [ ! -d / ]; then mkdir -p /var/run/barman; fi <rest of cron script> . in the crontab have a boot entry: @reboot <script like above to setup /var/run/barman> . check which init.d script which sets up /var/run and which starts cron, and add a script that starts somewhere between thoose two that sets up /var/run/barman Regards, /Karl Hammar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aspö Data Lilla Aspö 148 S-742 94 Östhammar Sweden _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
