Ugh.. an hour reading the O'Reilly armadillo book and

Changed it to */30 7-23 * * *
and it STILL gives me a bad day-of-month error.

Vixie cron is supposed to support 'mon-fri' syntax, tried that and same
error.

Is maybe my command syntax off?

crontab -u user cronfile  (as root)

I have a mental block with cron.
What time values & format would I need to put in a crontab file to execute
this command every 30 minutes between the hours
of 8am and 11pm every day of the month?

perl -w /home/sites/siteX/cgi-bin/script.pl >
/home/sites/siteX/web/news/news.html


I had this: 1,31 8-23,0-2 * * * but it gave me a bad day-of-month error.
