Crontab Day of the Week syntax
In crontab does the Day of the Week field run from 0 - 6 or 1 -7 ? I am seeing conflicting information on this. wikipedia states 0-6 and other sites I have seen are 1-7 . Also what would be the implication or either using 0 or 7 incorrectly? i.e. would the cron still run? 0 and 7 both stand for Sunday, you can use the one you want, so writing 0-6 or 1-7 has the same result. Also, as suggested by @Henrik, it is possible to replace numbers by shortened name of days, such as MON , THU , etc: 0 - Sun Sunday 1 - Mon Monday 2 - Tue Tuesday 3 - Wed Wednesday 4 - Thu Thursday 5 - Fri Friday 6 - Sat
