A script to keep VNC running
Authored by: smorr on Mar 05, '03 12:47:23PM

wouldn't this crontab entry run at five minutes past the hour instead of every five minutes?

I am just finding out about setting cronentries myself but thought that /5 would mean every five minutes.

so the entry should be
/5 * * * * jamesso /Users.....

No, it should be */5

It should be */5, meaning that you want it to run every 5 minutes. So */
10 would be every ten minutes, */15, */20, etc.
