If you choose all, it means it doesn't trigger it for a specific minute. You do need to choose selected on at least one or the cron job will just never be triggered at all. > Conversely, if I choose "selected", do I just not select any minutes so > that the job will skip minutes and go to hours? > > Basically what I want to do is execute this command, say every 3 or 4 > hours, for my dynamic IP: > > zoneclient.py -l -r http://checkip.dyndns.org/ user pass > www.orderinchaos.org,orderinchaos.org Select "selected" under hours and then select an hour every 3 hours and it will run on those hours. You may also want to select at least one minute entry and choose selected there, so that it will run say at 1:15, 4:15, 7:15, etc. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
