I currently have too many rsync commands that I run on a day to day basis.
Could someone be kind enough to let me know how I can automate these commands?
I am new to Linux so a little bit of explanation might be needed.
So first save the following in a file named rsynccommands.sh
#! /bin/bash
echo "starting all"
rsync-command-1
echo "completed 1"
rsync-command-2
echo "completed 2, starting 3"
rsync-command-3
echo "completed 3, starting 4"
rsync-command-4
echo "completed 4, starting 5"
rsync-command-5
echo "completed 5, completed all."
That is a bash script.
Make the script executable:
chmod + x /hom/USER/path/to/rsynccommands.sh
Then run the command crontab -e and copy/paste the following:
30 13 * * * /home/USER/path/to/rsynccommands.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
That will run the script every day at 1:30pm, the 30 being 30 mins past and the 13 being 1pm. The stars mean every day, month and year.
