I don't need to enter a password or anything, just a single click on the network drive connects it. Now the question becomes, how can I make the computer automate this process so I don't have to do that every time I turn the computer on? Is it possible I have something configured incorrectly or does this simply require more work to setup?Īnother issue that has come up, when the computer boots for the first time, it is not connected to my other laptop until I manually click on the drive in the file manager. That explains why it was syncing far more often then what the cron job setting was. I thought it was the cron job that was causing it to sync but it was actually the freefilesync program itself. There is a setting in there that I didn't notice that tells it how often to sync. After I do that, it syncs on it's own every X seconds.

#FREEFILESYNC TASK SCHEDULER MANUAL#

When my computer boots nothing happens until I manually launch "RealTimeSync" and perform a manual sync by pressing "start". So I think I figured out what is happening: I created one that will run every 6 hours -you'd need to adjust the setting on the site to get it according to your own schedule.

#FREEFILESYNC TASK SCHEDULER HOW TO#

If anyone can give me clear and simple instructions on how to create this scheduled task or how to get the gnome-schedule to install, that would be very much appreciatedĬode: Select all /FreeFileSync. When I create a new task I need to enter a command, I entered the location to the batch file "/opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync" "/home/frankdux/Sync/BatchRun.ffs_batch", I don't know if that is correct?

I'm inclined to think I'm configuring it wrong. I'm not sure if it's the program that doesn't work or if it's me configuring it incorrectly. I found Zeit which I am able to open and create the task but the task is not actually running.

#FREEFILESYNC TASK SCHEDULER INSTALL#

I downloaded gnome-schedule 2.3.0 which is a tar.gz file and I tried for hours to get that to install but was unsuccessful. Ideally I would prefer a gui task scheduler, as I think that would be much easier but I can't find one that works. Most websites I found give instructions that are not geared towards a newbie so I'm confused more than anything. I've been trying to do this for the last two days and I'm not making any progress.
