Can anyone imagine why the following lines in my crontab do not appear to be working ?

 

@daily /boot/config/Users_Yesterday >/dev/null>&1
@weekly /boot/config/Users_LastWeek >/dev/null>&1
@monthly /boot/config/Users_LastMonth >/dev/null>&1

 

The scripts do run by themselves if I run them so that is not it.. Below the contents of one of the scripts:

 

#!/bin/bash
rsync -avz /mnt/user/users /mnt/user/Users_Yesterday
touch -am /mnt/user/Users_Yesterday/users

easy... crontab on unRAID does not recognize @daily, @weekly, or @monthly as valid lines.

 

Put copies of those scripts in the following directories, and make them execuitable, and they will be run by existing crontab commands.

 

/etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.weekly

/etc/cron.monthly

 

Example

cp /boot/config/Users_Yesterday /etc/cron.daily/Users_Yesterday

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/Users_Yesterday
