CirrusCrontab for backups - Entries not running
Trying to configure a cron-based daily backup for a vCMP guest, running v13.1.1. As root, using crontab -e, I've added the following lines:
27 8 * * * /usr/bin/tmsh save sys ucs config1.ucs ...
Solution Information: The jobs were running, but not at specified times. The root cause was that the guest had not been restarted since the time zone was set, and cron was using the previous time zone. See K14113 for the details on how to restart the cron daemon.

CirrocumulusHave you tried removing "/usr/bin" and just leaving the command "tmsh save sys ucs config1.ucs"
You could also do something like this:
Make a bash script file in /config for example that says
tmsh save sys ucs scp -p /var/local/ucs/ root@:/var/local/ucs/Then just point the cron to run that.
27 8 * * * /config/
Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!
