Hi,

I do not find personal crontab file. how do I create it ? crontab -e says my personal file is not there 

If I want to run it as root then how do modify the following code as it is nor working ..
-------------------

#!/bin/bash


mkdir -p /home/USERNAME/org/backup && \


find $HOME -type f -name '*\.org' ! -path "/home/USERNAME/org/backup/*" \
     -exec cp -t /home/USERNAME/org/backup/ \{\} \;
echo "Daily Org Files Backup Successful: $(date)" >> /home/USERNAME/mybackupOrg.log

-----------------------------


Thanks

Ah, I thought that you'd run it from your personal crontab. So yes,
write paths from root's point of view.
