Message-ID: <1990Sep14.171634.15987@pmsmam.uucp> Date: 14 Sep 90 17:16:34 GMT Sender: wwm@pmsmam.uucp (Bill Meahan) Organization: Ford Motor Co EFHD Ypsilanti Plant, Ypsilanti MI Lines: 22 According to my understanding of the man page for crontab, the following line in my crontab file should cause the command to be executed at 2:19 AM on the First day of each month: 19 2 1 1-12 0-6 [command to be executed] But, the system appears to be executing the command EVERY DAY at 2:19 AM. What's going on here? System: HP9000/825 HP-UX (SYSV + BSD ++) version 2.1 (older) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
