Journal Saint Aardvark's Journal: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/brain 2

Am I the only one who has to put something like this in their crontab?

# 0 or 7 - Sunday
# 1 - Monday
# 2 - Tuesday
# 3 - Wednesday
# 4 - Thursday
# 5 - Friday
# 6 - Saturday

For some reason, trying to figure this out by hand just makes my brain hurt.

    That's at the top of most of my crontab entries. It's too much of a pain to keep going back to the main page (crontab(5)). The numbers make sense (at least to me), and the version of Cron in Debian (Paul Vixie's) also parses weekday names.

  • I'm all about 'man 5 crontab'.
