Mmm, interesting! I was thinking in using a combination of days and months (this is completely untested just an idea): * * */15 */1 * #task to run Mainly because "man 5 crontab" says you can only use a range between 1-31 for days and 1-12 for months but if that works it would be great :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
