Each crontab file entry consists of a line with six fields, separated by
spaces and tabs. The information in the fields specifies when the command
runs and the name of the command. The fields specify the following:
+ The first field specifies the minute (0 to 59).
+ The second field specifies the hour (0 to 23).
+ The third field specifies the day of the month (1 to 31).
+ The fourth field specifies the month of the year (1 to 12).
+ The fifth field specifies the day of the week (0 to 6 for Sunday to
Saturday).
+ The sixth field specifies the shell command to be executed.
You can specify the following values in the fields that indicate the time:
+ An integer (within the appropriate range of values)
+ Two integers separated by a dash to indicate an inclusive range
+ A list of integers separated by commas
+ An asterisk to select all possible values
You can specify the days on which the command is to execute in two fields
(day of the month and day of the week). You can specify both fields, or
you can specify only one field. To use only one field to specify the days,
the other field should contain an asterisk (*). If both methods are used,
the command is executed whenever either of the specifications is met.
[Tru64 UNIX] For example, the following entry runs command at midnight on
the first and fifteenth days of each month, as well as every Monday:
0 0 1,15 * 1 command
