Hello,
I want to run an updater script, every 5 hours and x minutes. I thought to use:

minute 5 * * * root path/to/scriptname

crontab(5):
  ...
  Steps are also permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say
  ``every two hours'', just use ``*/2''.
  ...

So, my guess would be:

minute */5 * * * root path/to/scriptname

but that looks like it only works once a day, i want it to go every 5 hours not justa at 5 in the monrning.
Thanks.
Dave.
