crontab

[asg]

Hello,
I have a crontab routine that is supposed to create a tar of a
directory. But it's only creating a tar of the information in the
crontab file. The code is below. Any help in making it tar the
directory would be appreciated.
58 2 * * * tar -cfp /usr/local/www/vhosts/fred/htdocs/users.tar
/usr/local/www/vhosts/fred/htdocs/users
Thanks in advance

Why are you posting to the Perl newsgroup?

Did you perhaps have a question relating to Perl?

Perhaps one of the files he's trying to archive is a perl script?
