The time and date fields are:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for ``first-last''.
Ranges of numbers are allowed. Ranges are two numbers separated with a
hyphen. The specified range
is inclusive. For example, 8-11 for an ``hours'' entry specifies
execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Lists are allowed. A list is a set of numbers (or ranges)
separated by commas. Examples:
``1,2,5,9'', ``0-4,8-12''.
:
Question: how does "0 */4 * * *" cause something to run every
4 weeks? Unless your version has a different field order. It
might work to try "* */628 * * *" but I'm not sure that cron
allows n>24 for the hourly divisor.
The combination of date and weekday can approximate the 4-week
cycle.
