cron question

dennis_89 · 07-05-2004, 12:08 PM

I'm just wondering if the crontab looks correct, here it is:

01 20 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /root/backup/master.txt >> /root/backup 2>&1

What I assume it is going to do is; at 10:01 pm on mon,tues,wed,thurs,fri it will run a script in the /root/backup directory... if there are any errors they will be outputted to a file in the /root/backup directory.

Thanks for the help,

Dennis

#Will run /etc/rc.d/blocking/rc.portai at 11:10 and 22:10 on every day
#
10 11 * * * /etc/rc.d/blocking/rc.portai
#It works fine to me !

Your'e almost right but "20" is 8pm not 10pm. With 24 hour format it needs to be "22".

Just noticed that this is in Networking, I'll move it to Linux->General
