CRON Question

I coulden't find an exact forum for this, but this seemed the best choice.

I'm trying to set up a cron job that will zip up the contents of a CVS repository (I'm using SF), and upload it to my website to be downloaded.

I've looked at tutorials on the web, and in the SF documentation, but haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I know the basics of CRON, ie, where to put the actual command, but I don't know how to actually build the command. If anyone could help me figure this out, that would be great.

Thanks a lot.

we've had several threads about writing Cron lines in the various forums here.. search around..

Although, last I saw, source forge did a nightly packaging of the source, or you could tell the system to do it.... unless they've changed that since I last worked with it... :?

Ok, thanks

I knew they did nightly tarballs, but I didn't see any documentation on it, so I thought I'd have to do it manually. I'll take a closer look.

Thanks
