Having some trouble with cron.weekly.
I made up a very simple script to backup my web directory
using tar and put it in the cron.weekly directory so that it would
make a weekly backup.
The script is executable and works if I run it manually.
Thing is, it doesn't seem to be running from cron.weekly.
I checked /var/log/cron and I don't see it listed.
It should have run by now, as I did this a couple of weeks ago.
crontab looks like this:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
script looks like this:
tar -zcpf /mnt/jaz/www.tar.gz /var/www -X exclude
What else should I check? Could it be a path problem?
Regards,
Drew
