I'm coming in late on this thread, so apologies if this has already been suggested. Specifically, to get the proper syntax, you need to 'man 5 crontab'. For an every 5 minute job, the first thing that comes to mind is this: 00,05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * <some command or script> This *might* also work: */5 * * * * <command> I haven't tested either of these, so no promises. :) Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
