I'm not a Unix expert, but one thing you could do is schedule the script to run every Sunday, then within the script add some logic so that the script completes every other Sunday. For example, in ksh:
# Check to see if this script ran last Sunday. if [[ -a ran_last_week.dat ]]; then rm ran_last_week.dat exit else # Create a file to signal that the script ran. touch ran_last_week.dat <....rest of script > Jay >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/16/03 09:09AM >>> Hello All, OS: Solaris 2.8 I have to run a backup script in every alternate Sunday.
