    I am trying to put the following entry into crontab to run the command at 10 am on Thursday.  When I save the file, I get the error below. 

            0 10 0 0 4 /home/padmin/backup

    contains the following error:
            0481-077 The date or time is either too large or too small.

     

    Any thoughts on what is incorrect about the statement?

    You've specified 0 for day and month. You probably mean "any month", for which you should use an asterisk '*', i.e.

    0 10 * * 4 /home/padmin/backup

    Thanks.  It appears the redbook example I am using is incorrect.  First time in AIX so I wasn't sure of the syntax.
