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.

ppmtosixel

ppmtosixel(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                ppmtosixel(1)

NAME

       ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap  as input.  Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output.  The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
       LJ250 color inkjet printer.

       If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled.  A printer control header and a color assignment table
       begin the SIX file.  Image data is written in a compressed format by default.  A printer control footer ends the image file.

OPTIONS

       -raw   If  specified,  each  pixel  will  be explicitly described in the image file.  If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
              pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands.  A raw file is often an order  of  magni-
              tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.

       -margin
              If  -margin  is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever).  If -margin is speci-
              fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.

PRINTING

       Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered.  Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.

BUGS

       Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion.  If the original PPM maxval was
       greater  than  100,  rescaling  also reduces the image depth.  While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
       color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen.  This seems to be a printer limitation.
