You need to understand how cron(8) matches the time code you set in the
configuration file. To re-iterate the man page available with "man 5
crontab":
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for ``first-last''.
So, using the above as a guide, I approximate a translation of your
configuration line as saying: "at every minute of the hour 1 on every
day of month and during every month and on every day of the week please
run command my_command"
Hope this helps.
