create a team called cron
Download cron

Make sure that cron is executable
chmod 765 /home/cron/Files/cron


telnet to server & create a dir in \\server\bootdisk
mkdir etc
cd dir to etc

open vi editor
press insert key & copy the below for cron to start

#!/bin/sh
/home/cron/Files/cron

reboot server for cron to load 

Confirm that cron loaded:

From a telnet prompt or a console command prompt type:

ps aux | grep cron 

Should look like the below:
_root 5054 0.0 0.1 1744 588 ? S 18:22 0:00 /home/cron/Files/cron
_root 4579 0.0 0.0 1464 468 ttyp0 R 18:33 0:00 grep cron

you can also type: ps -C cron 
it will look something like this:
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 9003 ?        00:00:00 cron



Enter the following command:
touch /home/cron/Files/crontab

(We won’t actually be using the crontab file, but cron will look for it and complain if it isn’t there.)
Next you have to create a new folder /home/cron/Files/crontabs to hold a file called _root. The _root file will hold a list of the jobs that will run with root privileges. To run a cron job as another user create a file by the users name in the crontabs folder.
To create the crontabs directory type:
mkdir /home/cron/Files/crontabs
Create the _root file by typing:
touch /home/cron/Files/crontabs/_root
Next change the permissions on the _root file by typing:
chmod 600 /home/cron/Files/crontabs/_root

_root file should contain something like this:

14 0,1,2,3,4,5 * * 1-7 /home/cron/bin/rsync.sh
(it will run rysnc 14 minutes into each hour 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 am Monday - Sunday)


Now create a directory call "bin" 
mkdir /home/cron/bin
now cd to /home/cron/bin & Create a script file it

"Im calling my script file rsync.sh"
I inputed the below for server1 to rsync to server2

On the below example I have the same team names on both servers
but you also need to give the recipient server teams a password as you are going to 
push data from server 1) This means you have to give the server2 teams
a CAL)

My rsync.sh scrip contains the following:

#!/bin/sh
RSYNC_PASSWORD=*****
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -zrlptgOoDPv /home/gnb/Files/* gnb@192.168.0.1::gnb/

RSYNC_PASSWORD=******
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -zrlptgOoDPv /home/gnb1/Files/* gnb1@192.168.0.1::gnb1/

RSYNC_PASSWORD=******
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -zrlptgOoDPv /home/gnb2/Files/* gnb2@192.168.0.1::gnb2/

RSYNC_PASSWORD=*****
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -zrlptgOoDPv /home/gnb3/Files/* gnb3@192.168.0.1::gnb3/

RSYNC_PASSWORD=******
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -zrlptgOoDPv /home/actg/Files/* actg@192.168.0.1::actg/


We’ll then make the file executable by entering:
chmod 770 /home/cron/bin/rsync.sh

reboot the server & make sure that cron is running

You can put test files on some of the team folders & make sure they
copied the following day.

to confirm type the below:
tail /home/cron/Files/log
