I'm writing a script to run automated backups with tar and cron. I want to include /var and /etc but this requires sudo.
Since it's automated and occurs nightly, I'm not present to input the password, so it fails for the moment.
Should I edit the sudoers file allowing to run this script without password or do you have any other suggestion ?
I think the suggestion of @pLumo should work but for some reason I couldn't make it.
I edited the sudo crontab as such
* * * * * /home/jmaurice/script.sh
and script.sh, which should run every minute :
#!/bin/zsh
echo "Salut tout le monde" >> /home/jmaurice/echo.txt 2&> /home/jmaurice/err.txt
what am I missing ?
ls -l gives :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmaurice jmaurice 63 Aug 5 09:35 script.sh
@Raffa
Requested output, it's still set to run every minute.
