Backup with cmsshell.sh (Re: [opencms-dev] Who has worked with CmsShell ?)

I used the cmsshell for the first time today.

But there is no section about it in the 4.6 documentation. Will it be 
part of the 5 docu then?

The command "help" helps at least with a big lists of commands.

Login as admin was "difficult" because our password has special 
characters, but with login admin "<password>" it worked then.

I still have no idea for an automated "exportAllResources all" (which 
works manually in the cmsshell).

Question: How can I run a cronjob to shutdown the opencms-app, start the 
cmsshell with a batch-file and then restart the opencms-app in order to 
create a nightly export?

Haven't found anything suitable in the wilma archiv yet.

How do you guys do backups? Or don't you? :-)

Thanks,
Sven
