I would like to schedule a back-up script to run weekdays starting at
9 PM. I have never set up a cron job before. I understand how the
daily/weekly/monthly/ect...... is organized. Looking in terminal I can
see Norton software has already put some tasks in the Users crontab,
but how now do I open this in Pico to edit it? If I can edit it, can I
just type a path, under the command, to an applescript compiled file
anywhere on the drive. Do I need to set the computer to never go to
sleep or is there a way to wake it before cron is run? If cron is all I
need I would prefer learning rather then getting other software to do
this job. Does anyone know of sites that could give me more information
to get started?
Thanks
