Hi, you may try 0-59/5 instead of */5 for the first entry (minute entry) since, */5 may not be supported on all systems. Any other pointers?! Rgds, Ravi On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 4:26 AM, Frank DiGravina wrote: > Hello, > > I need some clarification. I am trying to launch the following script

Hello, I need some clarification. I am trying to launch the following script called mrtg: it looks like: */5 ** * *rootif [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ] && [ -r /etc/mrtg.cfg ]; then env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg 2>&1 | tee -a /va r/log/mrtg/mrtg.log ; fi It sits in /etc/cron.d
