Unfortunately that did not work, the same error ocurs. This is what I have currently: 0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/bin/rsync -av -e "ssh" /home/rmason [EMAIL PROTECTED]:mymachine_rmason I've tried with and without the quotes plus with and without the rmason@ but none worked. I think I'll try scp and see what happens. Cheers, Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
