man 5 crontab says:
Lists are allowed. A list is a set of numbers (or ranges) separated
by commas. Examples: ``1,2,5,9'', ``0-4,8-12''.
And later says:
Lists and ranges are allowed to co-exist in the same field. "1-3,7-9"
would be rejected by ATT or BSD cron -- they want to see "1-3" or "7,8,9"
ONLY.
Is this supposed to say/mean "1-3,7-9" would be rejected by ATT (but
accepted by BSD)?
I'm gonna have to figure that
*/15 0-6,14-23 * * 7 root do_something
is a valid entry in BSD to mean do something every 15 minutes from
midnight to 6am and then again from 2pm to midight.
