I used this entry in the crontab: # Run 1st Sunday at 0930 - Fulls 30 9 1-7 * 7 /usr/local/scripts/backup_bootstrap.sh Yet this script just ran on Thursday, December 6 at 0930. Why? I just added it to cron so I don't know if it will run on any other days. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician! Visit The Alchemist's Warehouse http://www.alchemistswarehouse.com
