I havent played with crontab in forever, and I cant code at all, but I
really wanted to try to automate my backups a wee bit.
I made a basic script (qubackup) in the ~/ dom0 directory:
/home/bob/qvm-backup --yes --verbose --compress --passphrase-file
~/PASSPHRASE_FILE.txt /run/media/bob/drobo/backups/ anon-whonix
centos-7-minimal email chat work personal
and set crontab to run it every:
0 1 * * * /home/bob/qbackup
but it did not seem to work. I am able to run the script and the backup
will run but when i try to do it via cron then nada?
The crond seems to be running and crontab -l shows the schedule I pasted
above, Is there a reason this shouldn't work?
I am no cron-expert, but in my exoerience cron and scripts often mess.
One reason seems " pipes " in scripts that usually fail when cron'ed.
Have a look at these "|" in the script and re-code them pipe-free -- to
my opinion that would be a good starting point. cheers
Thanks!
I didnt realize that cron and scripts didnt mix, I just put one long
line into cron and it has started up!
Much appreciated!
??? Your script was executable using "she-bang" (#!/bin/my_shell)?
