Cron time format
Hi,

i would like to ask if this cron is valid.
Code:
40 3-6,8-23 * * * /my command

i want my job to run every hour on the 40th minute except 740am. Is this correct?

crontab Entry Format
A crontab file consists of lines of six fields each. The
fields are separated by spaces or tabs. The first five are
integer patterns that specify the following:
minute (0-59),
hour (0-23),
day of the month (1-31),
month of the year (1-12),
day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).
Each of these patterns may be either an asterisk (meaning
all legal values) or a list of elements separated by commas.
An element is either a number or two numbers separated by a
minus sign (meaning an inclusive range). Notice that the
specification of days may be made by two fields (day of the
month and day of the week). Both are adhered to if specified
as a list of elements. See EXAMPLES.
seems alright to me.
Why not wait for it to trigger...
