[FW-1] Assistance Requested: Provider-1 Crontab to automate mds_backup

[Larson, Todd (LNG-DAY) [Permanent Link]]

Hello,

I'm struggle with getting a crontab working to automate the mds_backup
process on Provider-1; I'm not a shell guru.  I believe my issue is with
syntax of getting the crontab to execute the mds_backup command.  I've
pasted what I have below.

#!/bin/sh
# This script is run nightly as a cron job
#
echo
echo "`date` - Script Started" 
#
cd /var/mds_backup
# the -b switch permits the backup to run regardless of whether an
administrator is logged in
# 
mds_backup -b
# done
#
echo "`date` - Script Completed"

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
