Queries about crontab settings
Hi, I've set a cron job using crontab -e to backup databases in my server using the automysql backup script. I've set it to backup daily at 5.00 p.m. This works fine : Code:
00 17 * * * sh /etc/cron.daily/automysqlbackup.sh.2.5 But there is another default file, named 'crontab' in the /etc directory that has default settings to perform cron jobs at 4.02 a.m. daily : Code:
SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly So the problem now is, the database backs up daily at 4.02 a.m and 5.00 p.m. How do I stop the cron from backing up at 4.02 a.m? I only want to have the backups at 5.00 p.m. Should I remove the crontab file completely from the /etc directory? Last edited by pludi; 10-23-2009 at 03:06 AM.. Reason: code tags |
