using crontab
 

Dear ALL,

Can anyone tell me how to schedule a task to run only on a perticular time and date and month ?

10 10 10 10 * mkdir /k

Will this task run everyday as the 5th * is for everyday.


How can i delete a single task from the crontab list?


Please help me to solve this issue.

With Regards,
Keerti

10:10 on October 10th, no matter what day of the week it is

man 5 crontab



Cheers,
Tink

no, it should be
minute hour date month day "your command"
minute hour * * 0-6 "your command"

> crontab -u login-name -l

> /var/spool/cron/login-name
