cron job 2 commands?

[CKH]

I have a crontab setup to update awstats and it works successfully.

Now I want to execute a cgi script to backup mysql once a day.

Can you have 2 commands in a crontab? If so, what's the format? By that I mean 1 command on each line, is a empty line required or not required between the lines, all one line, etc.

Or do I need to create a script to execute both commands and point the crontab to that script?

Also, the awstats is updated once an hour and I want the mysql backed up once or twice a day...

An example would sink in more with me than an explanation.

just make another script right under the one above it. Example:

55 23 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /www/x/xinil/htdocs/...
30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/webalizer -c /www/x/xinil/etc/webalizer.conf -p


Also, make sure you have two line spaces under those
