Ah, I thought that you'd run it from your personal crontab. So yes,
write paths from root's point of view.

mkdir -p "$target" && \

-exec cp -t "$target"

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ~/org/backup && \
find $HOME -type f -name '*\.org' ! -path "$HOME/org/backup/*" \
-exec cp -t ~/org/backup/ \{\} \;
In Ubuntu I have put the bash file in cron.daily but it seems
11 matches
