Their should be 6 columns. 1st = minute 2nd = hour 3rd = day (of the month) 4th = year 5th = day of the week 6th = command Each of the first 5 columns can have more than one discrete value(separated by a comma), a range of values, or an * (an asterisk, meaning that all values are to be matched) Hope this helps.
