AT the moment I'm backing up to an external USB 500 gig drive which is<br>
formatted ext3 using rsync which works very well. I currently invoke it as<br>
'rsync -av /home/boztu/ /media/disk/20110521/' an djust change the<br>
date for each successive day. i now want to do this via a cron job but<br>
am at a loss as to how to change the date for it. Can anyone suggest a<br>
way in which this can be done please?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>rsync -av /home/boztu/ /media/disk/`date +%Y%m%d`/</div><div><br></div><div>The date command is inside back tick quotes.</div><div><br></div><div>
Formatting is done via formatting parameters for date, (see man date)</div><div><br></div><div>As for the back ticks and how do more complex things look at the shell manual, man bash.</div><div><br></div><div>Peter.</div>

there is probably a simple answer to this although its hard to explain!<br>
I've added konqueror to the file opening when you right-click a file, but<br>
even when i open a file from konqueror it opens a new window of one.<br>
How do i get it to stay focused on open instance and not keep<br>
spawning other windows please?<br>
<br>
This is with KDE 4.4.5 under debian 6<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Sharoin.<br>
