Hello,
I would like to schedule a backup to be executed the first sunday of each month … I found many ressources about this that cannot be done using the Virtualmin interface.
For example my CRON should be something like:
The script test.sh is executed at 3AM only if the date is a sunday and date is less or equal to seven (so it’s the first sunday) … How would I enter this using Virtualmin, the complex schedule in backups does not seem to allow for this … I tried looking for the backup cron jobs but they do not seem to be at the usual place for Cron, or maybe I didn’t recognize them
Thks.
Pierre
The complex schedule does allow that. I have some backups running in virtualmin scheduled for the first Saturday of the month.
Ctrl click to highlight dates 1-7, then highlight Sunday only.
Hello @scotwnw : it seems that you are right … I spent almost 2 hours searching the internet and everywhere I read that the crontab could not do it natively (ie without the kind of formula I mentionned in my original post) so I assumed that it was not possible within Virtualmin, seems I was wrong
Thanks for answer, I will test, … well I’ll do it and check the first sunday of may !
Thanks again !
Pierre
