Fellow VAX'ers,
I have a job in my crontab that I want to run once only on the 25th day of
every month. The entry (NetBSD 1.5) looks like this.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- <break>
# 50 * 25 * * /usr/local/apache/conf/rc.monthly
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- <break>
The reason it's commented out right now is because I discovered it was
running at 50 minutes past every hour on this day (which is indeed the 25th).
I only want the job to run ONCE on the 25th, every month. Is this even
possible with cron? Perhaps I need to use at or batch?
The man pages and my dead-tree archives haven't helped much.
Thanks much.
