These should be something like: 00 2 * * sun root /root/scripts/virusScan.sh 00 1 * * sun backupuser /root/scripts/backup.sh However, if you want to run these jobs daily, it really is far more elegant to allow the run-parts script to execute them for you. It'll take care of sending meaningful e-mail with the job's output, and make sure that you don't execute both jobs at once (which could be a problem if they're accessing the same block device(s)). The easiest way to do that would be to do: #cd /etc/cron.daily #ln -s /root/scripts/virusScan.sh virusScan.cron #ln -s /root/scripts/backup.sh backup.cron -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
