cron job command for automysqlbackup.sh file

Hi,

I just installed Automysqlbackup.sh to my server. I wonder what cron job command should be to run it everyday ?

Note: i will set cron job from Cpanel

Path to script is: /home/username/automysqlbackup.sh

Thanks in advance

  • 0 0 * * *  /home/username/automysqlbackup.sh
    

    This will run the job every night at midnight.

    Here's what that job would look like in cpanel:

    cPanel cron configuration

    Ahmet vardar : didnt work. it works when i execute it from SSH but with cron it didnt work :(
    Ahmet vardar : by the way, i set cron from CPANEL, not from SSH
    ErikA : I've edited my answer with a screenshot from cpanel.
    From ErikA
  • On my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, automysqlbackup.sh included a cronjob. This is what it looks like. It's very simple.

    $ cat /etc/cron.daily/automysqlbackup
    #!/bin/sh
    test -x /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup && /usr/sbin/automysqlbackup
    

    So, automysqlbackup runs as part of the Daily cronjobs. The schedule for the daily cronjobs can be seen in /etc/crontab.
