I am a newbie to Unix.
My default root user umask is set to 077 and I have the following crontab job to redirect al the backup output to the logfile of /backup/backup.xxxxx
00 10 * * 0 /usr/local/bin/backup.sh > /backup/backup.`date +\%Y\%m\%d` 2>&1
Since root default umask is 077, the backup logfile of /backup/backup.xxxx is only readable to root itself. But I want to allow non-root or normal account to be able to read the backup logfile. Is there a way to achieve this in the crontab syntax itself?
