I have 2 websites hosted remotely on 2 separate linux boxes (openBSD). I
have telnet, ftp and web-based admin access into one of them ("site 1") and
ftp and web-based admin access to the other ("site 2"). "Site 2" has a
growing mysql database, and my task was to run a daily database backup
script on "site 2" from "site 1", and save it to somewhere on "site 2".As it turns out, I finally got the cron to work properly and do the re-direction using something similar to 00 02 * * * curl -dump http://www.site2.com/autodump.phtml > /home/site2/www/db_dir/db_backup`date +"\%m\%d\%y"`.txt Thank you for all your help! steve > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 12:21:57 -0700 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: need unix command help > > > This was actually a fun project since it was my first attempt at using > cron -- I notice you seem to have spent all night on it (probably not so > fun)!
