Hi,

Having a problem with cron on a Sol 9 (09/04) box.

Relevant root crontab entries:

#

# minute (0-59),

# | hour (0-23),

# | | day of the month (1-31),

# | | | month of the year (1-12),

# | | | | day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).

# | | | | | commands

#

# SAP BACKUPS

#-------------

#

0 23 * * 1-5
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/sap_online_backup

0 2 1-24 * 0
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/sap_offline_backup

#

# Monthly Offsite Backups - Set date - last Sat of every month.

0 2 25-31 * 0
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/monthly_offline_backup

Problems:

1. the sap_offline_backup script runs every night but is specified to
run on day 0 only.

2. the monthly_offline_script ran last Sunday even though it was the
11th of the month. It is specified to run on the 25th - 31st of each
month.

Can anyone shed any light on this.

Thanks, will summarize.
