Hi Ashish,

open one telnet session.

crontab -e

then give the periodicity day and time

like below

05 00 * * 1-6 /usr/local/bin/database_backup.sh

and now create the script file with the command or script to execute.

type crontab -e set the timing,Day,Month of script then give Path of ur script which it has stored. one very important thing make sure the user and permission of that file or directory from that script will be running.

it is important to use "crontab -e" command while logged in with proper user.

you will want to start backup with user ora[sid], so, do the same to run crontab command.
