[QUOTE="billnot, post: 401342, member: 176016"] Having done this for myself, without looking at this forum, I have done more or less the same, but for some reason on my 7025 I have to invoke a shell for it to work, but don't need to define the user as it's the root crontab anyway, i.e. 05 * * * * sh /var/bin/[I]script01.sh[/I] I have several lines in my crontab; I find updating Satan every hour is fine; I also have middle of the night housekeeping routines, such as * 2 * * * sh /usr/scripts/backup.sh backup.sh copies key files (I don't even bother to tar them) to the hard disk. Should I need to, I can copy them back in a telnet session. Cron is a very powerful tool; one of the gems of Linux. [/QUOTE]
