I have a cron tab entry:
5 18 3 * 1-5
To my understanding it will run 18:05 on the 3rd day of the month, from
Mon-Fri.
So why did this cron entry run today?
You have not read the man page.
Fields 3 & 4 plus 5 are not anded like you are assuming. It is more
(3 AND 4) OR 5 giving you this:
Run at 18:05 on the 3rd,
and also
Run at 18:05 every Mon-Fri
and it's all in the man page, and you are having an alarming tendency to
not read them. Please deal with this internal lack.
Now this all makes sense. You cannot possibly have the 3rd day of the
month happen Monday to Friday
