philipballew | has anyone here ever sat up a cron job? whats the best way to do it. It seems there are several but one way might be the best | 19:19 |
akk | The easiest way is to put a script in cron.hourly, daily, weekly etc. | 19:24 |
akk | If you need more control than that, use crontab (man crontab gives you the options). | 19:24 |
=== rbarot__ is now known as rbarot_ | ||
philipballew | akk. im just makin a rsync job say all I was gonna run was rsync -azv /home /myusername /path/to/externalharddrive | 19:25 |
philipballew | its a pretty easy thing, but was unsure if there was a correct way to do it. haha | 19:26 |
akk | When and how often? That's the issue with cron. | 19:26 |
philipballew | hum. every week was what i was gonna think | 19:26 |
akk | If you don't care exactly when, just make a script and put it in cron.weekly. | 19:27 |
philipballew | seemes easy enough. #!/bin/sh seemes like the bwst way to go then | 19:29 |
philipballew | thanks! | 19:30 |
