My script in /etc/cron.daily looks like this: ---------------------------- cp /usr/local/bin/scrib4 /usr/local/bin/scrib4.bak cp /usr/local/bin/scrib5 /usr/local/bin/scrib5.bak /usr/local/scrib140 /usr/local/scrib150 -------------------------------- and my script for the weekly backup in /etc/cron.weekly looks like this ----------------------------------- cd /usr/local/bin cp scrib4 scrib4.wk cp scrib5 scrib5.wk ------------------------------------- This scripting ensures that I have two backups to each version, in case a bug creeps in. Slackware has handy files like: /etc/cron/hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly These it turn are activated by the crontab mechanism ------------------------------ ... # Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour: 47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null # # Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day: 40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null # # Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week: 30 4 * * 0 /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 1> /dev/null # # Run monthly cron jobs at 4:20 on the first day of the month: 20 4 1 * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 1>/dev/null ------------------------------------------ SUSE has essentially the same crontab arrangement. Other Linux distros may have different mechanisms to accomplish the same results. I don't know if Windows has a comparable mechanism. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
