Hi all.
I am trying to execute a shell script containing a simple tar command
using a cron job, and I ain't no good at this!
I created a file called exec_tar.sh and placed it at the web root of my
website. The file contained:
tar -cvf cah_web`date +"%m%d%y"`.tar -C /home/myweb/www
I am attempting to tar the whole "www" directory, then I'll ftp it to
another site for storage.
I set up a cron to run:
home/myweb/www/exec_tar.sh
This isn't working...am I even close?
lost,
steve
