Subject: Question about schedule jobs
Hi All,
I'm beginning soon to host a mirror site for Rawhide development from
Redhat, and a mirror of KDE (both stable and unstable versions).
[Omer Zak] Behatzlacha!
I would like to know how can I set a schedule job for a specific time
(lets say 3 AM) to run a specific job? which command and whats the
syntax (an example will be excellent!).
[Omer Zak] Basically, the command is crontab -e which drops you
into the vi editor. It lets you edit the cron table (crontab) to schedule
jobs for execution.
Look at manpages for 'crontab', 'cron' - commands and file formats.
Another question, The machine have VX (or HX - not sure) intel chipset.
I would like to know if those chipset can handle 9+ GB IDE Hard disks
(I'm planning to put there 2 of 14 GB Disks - to store as much as I can
mirrors for the Linux IL community).
[Omer Zak] For this I don't have an answer. But you can use disk managers.
Linux supports some of the available disk managers.
Why not use SCSI hard disks? With SCSI you can connect as many as 7
hard disks per channel, whereas with IDE you are limited to two per channel
(or total four per normally-configured PC).
