GNOME doesn't even enter into it. For scheduling jobs: cron. For copying files: rsync or scp If you feel like putting a GNOME interface on these, there is Gnome Crontab Editor or GCronTime. I haven't touched those. Quick example: copy /home/guest/templates to remotemachine.example.com:/backup/originalmachine/home/guest/templates, once per day at 3:00 AM. crontab -e will edit the cron table for you; add: 00 3 * * * rsync -avz /home/guest/templates remotemachine.example.com:/backup/originalmachine/home/guest/templates man pages on all of these will be fruitful. -dsr- -- "Common sense always loses when fighting against the promise of dancing hamsters." -Valdis Kletnieks _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
