ZB,
Thanks for the reply.

I created the crontab file and my file looks like
Code:
47,3,19,2,1 /home/dsdev/bdayfinder.sh
I want the aforesaid script to get executed at the specified time, but i get the error like

Code:
crontab: error on previous line; unexpected character found in line.
crontab: errors detected in input, no crontab file generated.
I've checked the file thoroughly and couldn't trace the problem.

Pls help me out.

Sumesh
