Hello all, Quick one for you.... I need help with cron on Mandrake 7.0 I want to schedule a script, using cron, that will run every Saturday at 11:59pm. Now on Solaris I would do it like this 59 23 * * 6 /my/script.sh > /dev/null 59 = minute 23 = hour * = day of the month * = month of the year 6 = day of the week However, my search for cron help on Linux brought me here..... http://linuxdoc.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/using-cron.html Here the format is as follows: minute hour day month year command Following this format how do I tell it to happen only on Saturday at 11:59pm. While I'm asking, how about this /etc/cron.daily, hourly, monthly, weekly ? The doc says just to drop your script in one of these directories and it will be run. When ? hourly, I can guess; but daily, monthly weekly. I mean will something in /etc/cron.weekly run the first second of each new week starting on Sunday ? Help me, Duke
