If this is the system crontab file (/etc/crontab), you need to follow up the time fields with a username, then the command, like this: 30 23 * * * root /usr/localbin/scp /usr/localfile remotehost:/backup/ The command will run as the specified user. If it's not the system crontab, make sure that the owner of the crontab has sufficient privileges to execute the command. That's all I can think of for now, good luck! -- Trevor Hamm _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
