Hi All,
I have a problem with a crontab job.
My shell script which I want to run every day is the following:
--
$ cat alumil_daily.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo Daily VACUUM ... | gzip /home/alumil/vdblog.gz
echo
check the shell type sh or bash...

Do you really want this to run every minute?
When I run alumil_daily.sh from command line it creates the output file
