crontab to run mon.wed.fri
I have it set to the following

0 9 * * 1,3,5 /var/tmp/sys_diag

It ran correctly on Wednesday but did not run on Friday and I am not sure why, does the above appear to be correct?

Looks good.

Look at /var/cron/log to see what happened to it.

root 11770 c Fri Mar 6 09:00:00 2009

then my next script ran as well but 5 minutes later.
