For the original poster, this might help in the future: The columns in a cron entry are as follows: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. The day of week starts at 0 for Sunday through 6 for Saturday. Examples follow.
If you wanted to have a process run every 10 minutes on Monday through Friday, your entry might look like this: 00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * 1-5 Every 10 minutes but only between the hours of 8am and 2pm: 00,10,20,30,40,50 08-14 * * 1-5 Once every hour on the 15th of each month but only when it's on a Saturday: 00 * 15 * 6 Run once at 10 am on December 25th every year: 00 10 25 12 * -----Original Message----- From: Yupapa.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 5:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Running process in background?
