Crontab Job Output File
I am a newbie to Unix. My default root user umask is set to 077 and I have the following crontab job to redirect al the backup output to the logfile of /backup/backup.xxxxx Code:
00 10 * * 0 /usr/local/bin/backup.sh > /backup/backup.`date +\%Y\%m\%d` 2>&1 Since root default umask is 077, the backup logfile of /backup/backup.xxxx is only readable to root itself. But I want to allow non-root or normal account to be able to read the backup logfile. Is there a way to achieve this in the crontab syntax itself? Last edited by Franklin52; 01-08-2013 at 02:45 AM..

Why can't you give the right permission to the back up file when logged in as Root.

If you do not like to do it manually you can add a chmod line in crontab Code:
00 15 * * 0 chmod 644 /backup/backup.`date +\%Y\%m\%d` or just do it after your command Code:
00 10 * * 0 /usr/local/bin/backup.sh > /backup/backup.`date +\%Y\%m\%d` 2>&1 ; chmod 644 /backup/backup.`date +\%Y\%m\%d`
