I've got a similar cron I run for backups (daily rather than bi-weekly) but it looks like this: %nightly,bootrun,random * 2-4 CMD What this tells fcron is to run nightly (meaning only one run is allowed in an evening, run at boot if it hasn't run and I just booted in the period, and randomly select a time between 2:00 and 4:00. Works great for my needs and if one is missed it gets picked up at boot as it should. Hope that helps but if not there's more in the man page: http://fcron.free.fr/doc/en/fcrontab.5.html Regards, -- Alex Brandt Software Developer for Rackspace and Developer for Gentoo http://blog.alunduil.com
