For instance, "1 2 3 4 5 xx" says "at 2:01 of April 3 when it is a Friday, run xx":
Sorry DGPickett but this is not true and illustrates a very common mistake with creating crontabs.
Your example will run every Friday at 02:01 whatever the date.
It will also run at 02:10 on April 3 whether or not it is a Friday.
There was a classic example on this board of someone who scheduled a one-off server reboot ... or so they thought!

Oh no it doesn't. It is impossible to schedule a one-off cron more than a year in advance using basic crontabs. There are other techniques if you need them.
I think the actual answer to the original post should fire the cron at 12:00 and 16:30. The two lines are:
I will initiate a process from Server1 and the flow is as follow
Server1 --> Web server --> Application server --> DB Server
Note all seperate unix servers.

Like the below trace should be there:
