The time and date fields are:

              field          allowed values
              -----          --------------
              minute         0-59
              hour           0-23
              day of month   0-31
              month          0-12 (or names, see below)
              day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

       A  field  may  be an asterisk (*), which always stands for
       ``first-last''.

       Ranges of numbers are allowed.   Ranges  are  two  numbers
       separated  with  a  hyphen.  The specified range is inclu-
       sive.  For example, 8-11 for an ``hours'' entry  specifies
       execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11.

       Lists are allowed.  A list is a set of numbers (or ranges)
       separated by commas.  Examples: ``1,2,5,9'', ``0-4,8-12''.
