crontab entries will not execute when not logged
Hi there,
I have been looking around for quite a while now. I did not find any answers that works for me. I am using Fedora Core3. I have been trying to setup different cron entries to backup different parts of the system in particular. The cron entries work fine as long as I am logged in as myself. When I logged out, the cron entries are not executed. I also tried to edit the cron entries as root, to see if that would do the trick. The entries are still not executed. I am completely out of ideas. Thank you :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: |
Try to post your backup scripts here if they are not too long.
I am pretty sure cron jobs works even when you are not logged in. The problem you are having is related to a bug in backup script, not with cron itself. |
Here is the command line that I have in my crontab
0 2 * * * /bin/cp -rf /home/* /media/usbdisk/ > /dev/null 2>&1 Thanks for the help. |
