So I'm using the Smartsheet backup tool on a linux server, it's very simply and looks great, you modify the properties file, run the jar and there's your backup. I'm trying to automate this backup using Crontab but it seems like the backup tool looks for the properties file from your current directory, obviously in crontab, this runs as Root in a base directory therefore it cannot find the properties file and will not run.
How can I specify the location of the server properties file or do I have to create a script that runs the backup from within the directory? This seems like such a basic feature but is missing, can anybody help?
