Hi,

Do you see any entries in your /var/log/cron file? If
you see errors, please post them here. If you don't
see anything, your job is not running or is running
at the wrong times.

Best regards.

Frank

Hi,

"00 16 8-14 * 3 /n9/yze_jobs/monthly_load.ksh" -

minute (0-59) = 00
hour (0-23) = 16
day of the month (1-31) = 8-14
month of the year (1-12) = * (ALL)
day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday) = 3

So, your job should run every Wednesday between the 8th and 14th of the month, at 16:00.

Best regards.

Frank
