This is the AIX forum! What you have suggested works on Linux (more precisely it works with the widely-used Vixie-cron), but not the AIX cron.


From the crontab man page

Quote:
Code:
These fields accept the following values:
minute 	0 through 59
hour 	0 through 23
day_of_month 	1 through 31
month 	1 through 12
weekday 	0 through 6 for Sunday through Saturday
command 	a shell command

You must specify a value for each field. Except for the command field, these fields can contain the following:

    A number in the specified range. To run a command in May, specify 5 in the month field.

    Two numbers separated by a dash to indicate an inclusive range. To run a cron job on Tuesday through Friday,
    place 2-5 in the weekday field.

    A list of numbers separated by commas. To run a command on the first and last day of January, you would specify
    1,31 in the day_of_month field.

    A combination of two numbers separated by a dash to indicate an inclusive range and a list of numbers separated
    by commas can be used in conjunction. To run a command on the first, tenth to sixteenth and last day of January,
    you would specify 1,10-16,31 in the day_of_month field. The above two points can also be used in combination.

    An * (asterisk), meaning all allowed values. To run a job every hour, specify an asterisk in the hour field.
