Thanks to Jeffrey Hummel, Norbert Fritsche, Theodore A. Neuville for their
responses. It seems Jeffrey Hummel hit the nail on the head.

Subject: Crontab entry
Admins,
We the following crontab entry
30 2 1-7 1-12 6 /usr/local/bin/viperrefresh.ksh
supposedly I have this to run every month on the first saturday of
the month. Am I reading this wrong? Here is what the man page for crontab
says:
3. The following example writes the contents of
happyholidays.txt to all
users logged in at 4:00 p.m. each Friday in December and each day
between December 10 and December 31 inclusive:
0 16 10-31 12 5 /usr/sbin/wall /var/tmp/happyholidays.txt
Now it looks like according to the man page that I have
/usr/local/bin/viperrefresh.ksh set to run every saturday and each day
between 1-7, is this correct?
TIA,
