HOME ABOUT ORACLE SITES RSS Backing up your CRONTAB

If you are running a lot of scripts through CRON you may want to have a current backup. Since your CRON is simply a text schedule I prefer a daily email backup. It’s simple and does what I need. I add this line to my CRON:

00 0 * * * crontab -l > crontablist.txt;
mail -s "DW CRON - Quality Control" nitish@domain.com < crontablist.txt


Everyday at midnight I get an email with the contents of my CRON.
