I am finally considering moving an older application which contains a lot of scheduled tasks over to the CronTab plugin for OBD. I have a quick question I was hoping could be answered since I do not have much experience using cron jobs on *nix. Specifically, when are the hourly, daily, monthly and weekly tasks run? My assumption would at 0:01 for hourly and 00:00:01 would be the execution time for the daily tasks and similar for the monthly and weekly.
The reason I ask is I have a task which needs to run on the first day of the month within the first hour to gather sales specific information. Would I be better off running the task the task hourly and then checking to see what day of the month and what hour it is currently processing in order to execute my business logic? Thanks for the help in advance. -JSLucido -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
