[ALUG] Setting Crons on FreeBSD

[Hamisi Jabe]

At last i managed to run the srcipt successfully on the cron



I added the following lines on the below two lines on cron before the script

*SHELL=/bin/sh**
**PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin*

*/10 * * * * sh /etc/rsync.sh


And changed the access level of the rsync.sh


Without the above two lines its not executing
