Subject: crontab syntax ?
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2003 15:50:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EE24201.DA793DC8@gelm.net> (raw)

Howdy, y'all:
I want to run a script monthly.
(update my dynamic DNS account)
I (as 'root') ran 'crontab -e' and added this line:
5 6 7 * date /usr/local/src/ez/dyndns.conf >> /share/dyndnsup.txt 2>>
/share/dyndnsup.txt
This seems to be the syntax indicated by 'man crontab'.
If I understand the syntax of crontab, the above line will
every 7th of the month, at 06:05, execute my dyndns.conf file
and send standard and error messages to file /share/dyndnsup.txt.
Is this correct syntax?
Is there a syntax checker for crontab like testparm for samba?
Regards, Chuck
