man 5 crontab
...
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)
...
For future reference, the number argument to man represents the "volume"
of the Unix manual. 5 is for sysadminy stuff, from memory. So when you
see this sorta thing:
SEE ALSO
cron(8), crontab(1)
at the bottom of a man page, you can get to it with:
man 8 cron
man 1 crontab
If you just to man crontab it'll only display the first man page, in
this case crontab(1).
