hi,
the crontab file format
minute 0 through 59
hour 0 through 23
day_of_month 1 through 31
month 1 through 12
weekday 0 through 6 for Sunday through Saturday
command a shell command
for example, your Entry
0 18 4 5 0 /usr/local/dba/ksh/SbsMonthEnd.ksh BOPA 1
would run command on May 5th, as well as every sunday. To specify by date
only, the weekday field should contain an * .
5/11 was a sunday, as expected.
regards
