Pluggers,

Reading (5) Crontab you can have ranges of numbers, ie

00 0-23/2 * * * script

is 'script' every day every other hour on the hour. It mentions that range 
feature can *not* be used with names ie mon-fri.

But what I would like to do is run a script every other monday. So I have 
entered the following

00 23 * * mon/2 script

now rather than waiting to see if this will work (yes I am inpatient) can 
anyone offer feedback?

TIA

Mike
