Hi all I'm trying to run a daily back automatically using anacron
I've written a sh-script (called - "daily.snapshot") using rsync which works fine on the command line as root (if executed manually) and put it in /usr/local/bin The next stage is to use anacron to run it for me daily. I've added /usr/local/bin to the PATH (hopefully) I was wanting it to log in /var/log/ etc ?? and time out wasn't critical so made it 100 - to keep away from cro. daily?? From the reading/googling I've done I understand that I need to add a line to anacrontab this is what I've come up with: # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details. SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/:/usr/local/bin # These replace cron's entries 1 60 cron.daily nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 7 75 cron.weekly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 30 90 cron.monthly nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly 1 100 daily.snapshot nice daily.snapshot --report /var/log/daily.snapshot whaddya recon?? cheers................dave Mail to: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ____________________________________________ Kmail using Kontact - KDE Desktop 3.2.1 Mepis Linux - Kernel 2.4.22 (i686) ____________________________________________
