[App_rpt-users] ACID Crontab

[Steve Mahler]

I am having some problems with cron entries running when I am not 
expecting them to run.  This is an ACID distribution and the crontab is 
set from the root account (crontab -l | crontab -e | etc.).

My crontab file looks like (with the questionable lines commented out).  
The starting comments were taken from a search for CENTOS  5 crontab man 
page.  Just what am I missing??

The cron log shows ...

[root at KF5VH-AS1 log]# grep /oo cron
cron.1:Apr  3 00:06:01 KF5VH-AS1 crond[7629]: (root) CMD 
(/etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/oobuild 46)

The first two lines should run on Monday.  The second two lines should 
run on Tuesday.
The last two lines should run on the first Thursday of each month.
