From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lockwood, Teresa L Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 9:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: crontab question ** I've created a scheduled report which is running perfectly except for the days of the week that it is running. I want it to run 7 days a week and my crontab -e is set up as follows: 0 1 * * 0-6. From my understanding "0-6" is Sunday-Saturday so it should be sending the report every day. However it seems to be consistently skipping Sunday and Monday (0 & 1). Any idea what I could be missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
