Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and then edit it using crontab -e ? Anyway, here's what I'd like to do. I have a script: /root/scripts/backup.sh I want to run that script every day at 07:00 in the morning. Once. Now how would I go about that? The thing is: I'd like to know an orthodox way to go about this. You can be laconic in your answers, I'll retrive the details in the docs. Cheers, Niki
