crontab

[madhvi]

I have tried automating the backup of my files by scheduling the execution of scripts ( I am using rcp to copy the files onto another fileserver).    The problem encountered is :-   I log in as root and issued the crontab -e command.  Added the following lines 10 16 * * 3 5 /scripts/backup/twiceweekly.sh 10 16 * * 4  /scripts/backup/weekly.sh 50 15 30 * * /scripts/backup/monthly.sh   These files are not being exexcuted.   Using crontab -e, I added the following line for testing purposes on a Thursday and 50 14 * * 4  /scripts/backup/twiceweekly.sh Cron is reloaded thereafter and the script is executed.  However the other scheduled scripts are not executed. No error messages are seen in /var/log/cron as well.   Grateful if someone could help me with this problem.   Regards madhvi
