Automating Task on Linux

If you have been looking for a way to Automate a task on Linux, then this is the place for you. We used this in a bid to Automate SquirrelMail Backup on Ubuntu 9.04

Open /etc/crontab and add the following line in it:
50 08 * * * root /bak
This indicates that the executabe file named bak in / will run everyday at 08:50 am
we created the /bak file to backup IMAP folders in SquirrelMail on Ubuntu 9.04
