crontab Run Custom schedule question
I googled a bit, and I think I have this right (it seems easy enough) but I don't deal with cron ever (well, yearly maybe) so I wanted to make sure this is right the first time.
I want to patch the servers over the weekend. I have "overnight" (5am) and "afternoon" (3pm) servers so I need 2 schedules.
Is this correct?
* 5 * * 6,0
* 15 * * 6,0
Thanks!

It looks correct. There is an online generator/checker for crontab jobs:

Is that first asterisk 'every minute'?
Put the values into the crontab sandbox (www.CronBuddy.com) and you will see a list of the run times.
