Cron - Dummy Question

[Daniel_DBS]

Hey Guys...

I am COMPLETELY clueless when it comes to writing a script to execute with a Cron job and need a bit of help...

Now this will NOT be for my VPS but rather a shared account I have here at Jag as well...

What I need to do is write a script, that I can setup a cron for, that will rename the folder named 'daily' to the current date...

If you haven't figured it out, this is part of my backup routine. Nightly I use WHM to send backups to a shared account here at jag, which once per week I also take a backup of the backups and download them locally. blah blah...

Like I said, I am completely STUPID when it comes to doing this crap...

SOOOO HELP!!!!

Assuming that the daily folder is at /home/USERNAME/daily just put the following code in /home/USERNAME/rotate.sh.

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/USERNAME/
mv daily `date +%F`

It will format the folder as yyyy-mm-dd.Then all you need to do is setup a cron as:

sh /home/USERNAME/rotate.sh

Thanks Smith!

Like I always say, it's the easiest things that stump me!
