crontab

[q-funk@megacom.net (Martin-Eric Racine)]

Following a suggestion from someone on this list, I want to use
Cron to make auto-backups of my system.  However, I lost his email
and I'm having trouble understanding Cron's manuals.

I *think* I have figured out the file format, but where do I put it,
under what name, and how do I tell cron to use it?

Also, is the script below correct?

# crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh

1 22 * * sun 'cp /d/system/ /e/backup/' \
'echo "Sunday 10:01pm; making the system backup..." /dev/ttyv9' 

# EoF


Thanks.
