Cronjobs.md

running stuff in the background at a specified time is awesome

I forget to backup my files and so i use cron to do it for me.
Here is a basic rundown-

• crontab is the tab of all cronjobs
• run crontab -e it will ask for setup, use your favorite editor

export EDITOR=nvim

now run crontab -e again and you should be able to access the file

# Add this line to your crontab file to run the backup every day at 2 AM
0 2 * * * rsync -ah --info=progress2 /path/to/source /path/to/destination

those asterics are wildcards! It means run it everytime
use this command format examples for cronjobs
