Re: cron: why not?

I did that too.
They need to use the words "OR" and "NOT AND" when specifying dates...

i though saying "run on days 1-7 if day of week is 0 (sunday)" does
not include thursday, september 6...

nevermind, sorry for replying to my own post and not RTFMing too
carefully:

crontab(5):
       Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified by
       two  fields  --  day  of  month, and day of week.  If both
       fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the command will  be
       run when either field matches the current time.  For exam­
       ple,
       ``30 4 1,15 * 5'' would cause a command to be run at  4:30
       am on the 1st and 15th of each month, plus every Friday.
