Dear all,
I believe that you have a small mistake in the weekday field...
check in your operating system by running "man crontab" .
If you are running HP UX or solaris, or linux... it should be like these
minute The minute of the hour, 0-59
hour The hour of the day, 0-23
monthday The day of the month, 1-31
month The month of the year, 1-12
>>>>>> weekday The day of the week, 0-6, 0=Sunday <<<<<<<<<<<
The other entries are correct.
Regarding to your example, Balaji,
> > Schedule: 7th of every month, at 8pm - script test.sh
> > 00 20 7 * * /usr/local/bin/test.sh
It is correctly set to run on the sevent day of every month
Regards
Nuno Fontainhas Dias
