CRON Jobs
Hi,
I am a
total newbie to all things Unix. I've worked out I need to set up something that will allow me to automatically backup a DB for me, the DB is for a foum system I run.
Now, I've only found out I need to use telnet for this, and worked out hwo to log into telnet today. From here I'm totally stuck, except I think the command will look somethign like this....
PHP Code:
15 02 * * * mysqldump --add-drop-table -u username -ppassword dbname > backup_forum-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql
Is this correct?
When I log into telnet, I get a variable [$] sign. How do I go about entering the CRON job from that?
Many thanks,
Ed Ludlow
