Subject: backup crontab 

I made a simple script to backup crontab (/opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/crontab/backupCrontab).

#!/bin/bash

crontab -l > /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/crontab/crontab_$(hostname).$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')

I put this script into op340m crontab.

00 8 * * * /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/crontab/backupCrontab

It took me 30 minutes to write and check this one line script. I hate shell scripts.
