this might be too simple a question to ask, however i am doing it anyway. i want to run a cron job to back up the dump files from my database tables on a weekly basis. I've never set a cron job before. So by following the "goolge-search" result, I did these:
I create a text file and add a line to set time, date and my script, name the file "cronjob.txt" 59 23 * * * /home/hai/Scripts/backup.sh from CLI: crontab cronjob.txt confirm the job: crontab -l then I sat tight waiting for the magic moment. Nothing happened. I must have missed something, what is it? I am using ubuntu 8.10, and I test the script manually, it works fine. Thanks!
