I am trying to schedule a batch sync in an ubuntu based distro but it does not seem to trigger can you tell me if this command line looks correct

my batch file is saved in my /home/server/Batch folder

"usr/bin/FreeFileSync" "/home/server/Batch/copy.ffs_batch"

The command should start with `/usr`. The best way to get a valid command line is to import a .ffs_batch file in RTS which will generate a default config.

Looks good to me. There is probably something wrong with the path to FFS. Latter has pretty thorough error handling, so you would at least get an error message. Alas this does not seem to apply to the task scheduler.
