[net.unix-wizards] crontab entries

trb (06/21/82)

My BTL UNIX 3.0 cron man page says that the crontab day-of-week field
for Sunday is 0; the 4BSD cron man page says it's 7.  I tried 7 on my
4.1BSD system and nothing happened.  Will 0 work?  I don't want to wait
another week to see if my weekly filesave script doesn't execute.

The cron code was too cryptic for me to figure this out at a glance.

The 4BSD man page on cron is in error; days are numbered 0-6.  I sent
a bug report to Berkeley about this about a year ago.

The man page is incorrect!  Sunday is 0 on 4.1bsd.
