I have installed rsync from ports, and want to use it to archive. I want to add an entry to cron so it runs nightly. I didn't quite understand the man page when it came to arguments to the command you are running. ie 0 0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -av /working/ /backup/working I also want the output of the rsync command to go to a named file. Any help greatly appreciated. -Darryl
