cronttab -e help
I'm still trying to get the auto backup to work. I'm in the shell prompt and I've typed
crontab -e 11 05 * * * mysqldump -u ruth -ppassword -h localhost world > /home/ruth/backup/world_try
Unix keeps complaining out the options for password. It says invalid option --p usage error unrecognized option. What do I do about this? I tired the above options with crontab -e and it would also complain about the date. I like the idea of putting a date in my file name but can't get it to work so I've simplified it a little. Please help everthing I read and try does not work.

I'm using Putty and want to edit a file. I know we generally use vi editor to do it. As I'm not good in using vi editor, I want to convert the vi into something like text pad. Is there any option in Putty to do the same ? Thanks for your response.
