but when I sheck the remote server nothing is done, any sugestions pls
Seems you forgot to attach the script you wrote.
...and when you send it, please also tell us as which user you call it
and how your whole crontab looks like. (Some variables may be set there.)
MfG, JBG
yep:) thanks for your help
I found the script in a tutoriel and made some changes to it.
the 2 machines are Debian boxes 6.0
#crontab -e
# m h dom mon dow command
*/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/backup.sh
Here's a first problem.
There's one system-wide crontab, as well as per-user crontabs. They
slightly differ in their syntax. Per-user crontabs have an implicit
owner, which must explicitely be set in the system-wide crontab. The
syntax shown above contains a username (and thus is in system-wide
syntax), but the system-wide crontab is never ever be changed by
`crontab -e'. So essentially, the command executed here is not
"/usr/bin/backup.sh", but "root /usr/bin/backup.sh". And you probably
should get emails with "command not found" or something like that,
assuming that there's no "root" command on your machine.
# cat /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd /&& run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd /&&
run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd /&&
run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd /&&
run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

This is a correctly formatted system-wide crontab.
cron.log
Mar 13 17:10:01 debian /USR/SBIN/CRON[21083]: (root) CMD (root
/usr/bin/backup.sh)
Obvious problem: an assumed per-user crontab is wrongly processed
because it is in system-wide crontab format. Just throw out the word
"root" in your per-user crontab file (to be modified by `crontab -e'),
and your script will be executed.
MfG, JBG
yep I found 250 mail saying the same thing: root no such command :D, I
throw it out and it works now, thanks.
