Quoting Kaushal Shriyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Correct me if i am wrong please. I want to understand your scriptstep 1 : put the above code in text file and name it as rsync-host77.sh in the folder /home/kaushal in the machine where rsync command will execute step 2 : cd /home/kaushal $crontab -e 0 18 * * * rsync -host77.sh If i want to run the rsync script at 6 pm everyday Also where will the "rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log" file will be located, I believe it will be in /home/kaushal folder. Lets say if i have to put "rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log" in /tmp folder then the above rsync line would look like rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ &>/tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log is that correct what i understand from your email
You are correct, sir! You must also, of course, be sure to chmod u+x rsync-host77.sh.
Note that if you want an e-mail on either success or failure (your original post seemed to indicate this might be the case) bash understands "if-then-else-fi".
