i have just installed a cron job to run at 3 in the morning once a week. It's difficult for me to test if it works because the email backup program takes the email service down before running the backup. I wondered if i could ask you gurus if this would work?
0 3 * * 0 if cd /Volumes/Files_Backup_1;then /usr/sbin/mailbfr -b /Volumes/Files_Backup_1/mail/bak --mode rotate; fi
It's just meant to check that the backup disk is reachable before running mailbfr. This part of the script works
/usr/sbin/mailbfr -b /Volumes/Files_Backup_1/mail/bak --mode rotate
I just wanted to check that the if then fi stuff would work from a cron job?
