Crontab question
Hiya,
I have a question about the timesetting within a crontab. A non personal user has a crontab that has the foillowing line in it: ---- minute hour day_of_month month weekday command 0 */3 * * 0,6 /home/"usrname"/out/XX_restrt.sh ---- what is the meaning of the */3 (there is no space in between the * and the /)? Does it run every third hour ? Greetz, Elton

ThX for your answer Chandanperl
So if I take my example it would run every third hour as where you say every third minute(Just to make sure I get it not to attack you) ---- minute hour day_of_month month weekday 0 */3 * * 0,6 command /home/"usrname"/out/XX_restrt.sh ----

Code:
* * * * * command to be executed - - - - - | | | | | | | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) | | | ------- Month (1 - 12) | | --------- Day of month (1 - 31) | ----------- Hour (0 - 23) ------------- Minute (0 - 59)
