Regarding Shell Scripting

anilkarikkandar · #1 (**permalink**) 11-16-2006

Hello all,

I want to use the crontab utility in Unix for scheduling my backup jobs.

I want to schedule my backup for 12(noon) 2PM and 4PM to get arch files from main server to standby server and then copy these arch files to the DLT tape.

can any one guide me how to write a shell script and also how to edit the cron daemon process.

thanks in advance

Do : crontab -e

This will open crontab file in a default editor (vi?).

Type in:

0 12,14,16 * * * root path_to_the_script

and save it.
You can check your crontab setting with: crontal -l
I think this will do.

If you need any help regarding the script, make a post on the forum.
