I have this comment at the beginning of every cron file to remind me: #min hr day mon dow The last number is "day of the week". So your above cron job will only be run at 04:22 of every day (*) of every month (*) on Sunday (the 0th day of the week, iirc). You can also, on most systems, use three-letter abbreviations instead of the number. ~ ross _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
