Duplicity

Receiving multiple e-mails

Asked by Pedro Guizeline

Hello everyone,

I've set up a backup routine that runs everyday at 5AM, everything runs fine, all the files are being sent to Amazon S3 as expected.

The only thing that is bothering me is that everyday I get about 60 e-mails from my server, all with the same content, they start at 5AM and go for about the whole hour, always with the same info.

Could someone please help me solve this? Any kind of help would be great!

Pedro.

I'm sorry! I think I probably found the error! I think it's cron related:

Before:
* 5 * * * script

Now:
0 5 * * * script

This is why the amount of e-mails is always 60 or 61, it keeps running throught the whole hour maybe? Let's see how it runs from now on!

Thanks a lot for the help guys!

that's wrong.. this starts the script on every minute as long as it is 5am
