Hi all,
I used cron to setup some regular tasks, for example to run rsync for manual backup once a month. However it doesn't actually run from cron. Works fine from the command line but doesnt run. Is there something I am missing? Here is my command:

0 0 1 * * /usr/bin/rsync -rulpti /Users/solomani/ /Volumes/backup/hippolyta/solomani/

for the most part, crontab has been superseded by launchd. You can use Lingon for a gui front end of launched
