 Re: Ho to create more events

Hello There,

At first glance I thought this message and the following message were dupes.
But upon a closer look I realized that I deleted this message but SBBS scanned
it out prior to me deleting it. I then edited/upddated the
message.

>> > Another silly question I can setup more than a local event in bcfg4?
>> Events are always per node event. You can define up to 90 events (pgup /
>> pgdn  in bcfg4).
>> > And how can create it to run every 20 minutes?
>> Then you must define 72 events. I recommend using cron instead.
> I would agree. Using Linux I use cron for all my timed BBBS events.
> For a task to be run every 20 minutes I would simply use a crontab line as:
> */20 * * * * //
> You could for example use the cron line to run a backup of all your user
> accounts at 5 a.m every week with:
> 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
> I have a separate HD mounted as /backups where I backup/archive stuff.
