Creating cronjob
Guys

I am a complete newbie to UNIX and I need some help. My team has taken on support of a very old UNIX box which is running version 2.4.21. I need to create an urgent cronjob to restart the sladp process every sunday at 1am. This is to to provide a temp fix to a production issue. Problem I have is im not sure of the syntax for this in the older versions.

would this work

1 0 * * 0 service slapd stop;service slapd start >/opt/gw/ds5.2/slapd-test-ldap-ty/tmp/restart-status

Hi,
try this
0 1 * * 0 [your script] >[log_file]

it triggers the mentioned script every sunday at 1 AM.

<OR>
@weekly [your script] >[log_file]

This will trigger the script every sunday @00:00 AM

I am also new to unix. If anything wrong in above commands please correct me,
