> Hi >=20 > Your Crontab line should read: >=20 > */5 * * * * path/to/whatever >=20 > Gordon >=20 The above crontab from Gordon is correct: here is the reason why, your = original crontab was set to run every hour the minute hits 05. ie. 10:05, 11:05, 12:05. you could also do something like 05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,00 * * = * * path/to/whatever, but as you see */5 is better :) Regards, Kenneth Sundby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
