Quick Cron Question

Hiya...

Quick question if i have files that are in say /backup and want to move them every day to another directory say /newbackup. I know i need to create a cron job but can i move them and change there ownership and permissions all in the one cron. If so do i just type the commands into a file like a batch file in DOS.. And then set a cron to run at whatever time i want... Any help would be apperciated.

With Thanks

 

how do u make a script just create a file with the commands in it...

 

Hiya..

Ok here is what i want to do just want to see if anyone knows a more efficent command to do it.

cp -u /backup/*.tar.gz /newbackup/
chown -f me:me /newbackup/*

So if this was the most efficent way (i doubt it) would i just make a file and save it as say /home/user/me.sh
then i am going to want to run it in a cron everyday at 04:30

30 4 * * * /batch/me.sh

Just so its made clear i would then add this line to /etc/crontab

Any help would be apperciated.

Thanks
