Howdy, y'all: I want to run a script monthly. (update my dynamic DNS account) I (as 'root') ran 'crontab -e' and added this line:
5 6 7 * date /usr/local/src/ez/dyndns.conf >> /share/dyndnsup.txt 2>> /share/dyndnsup.txt This seems to be the syntax indicated by 'man crontab'. If I understand the syntax of crontab, the above line will every 7th of the month, at 06:05, execute my dyndns.conf file and send standard and error messages to file /share/dyndnsup.txt. Is this correct syntax? Is there a syntax checker for crontab like testparm for samba?
