  • crontab has the cron schedule; this file also features the crons I use on the remote server which my local repository then pulls from.
  • db-backup-cron.sh is a small shell script to check for the existence of a VPN tunnel; if the VPN is offline, the pull will commence. If a tunnel is detected, the pull will be rejected and skipped with a notification.
