For things I might forget, I like to put reminder remarks in my files
and align the columns for easy reading. This is the for the system
crontab, but the columns should be the same for all users (except for
the `user' column, obviously).
--------------------
# m h dom mon dow user command
21 21 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
31 21 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
41 21 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
--------------------
m minutes (0-59)
h hour (0-23)
dom day of month (0-32)
mon month (1-12 or jan-dec)
dow day of week (0-6 or sun-sat)
commas may separate entries like so:
--------------------
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/kotsya/.checkformail 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
--------------------
asterisks of course match all
