Hi all,
This is crazy but I can't see the answer. In my system crontab I've
added a job to stop the music system at 10:59 on the 11th November, and
restart it at 11:02 on the 11th November
# m h dom mon dow user command
59 10 * 11 * root /bin/squeezy -all -off
>>/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1
02 11 * 11 * root /root/bin/newplaylist
>/var/log/newplaylist 2>&1
However, it's doing this every day. Can anyone see what's wrong?
I was recently struggling with reading crontab myself and found this
useful
page that I have no affiliation with -> https://crontab.guru/
It points out that the day of the month is set to '*', which means every
day.
If you want tasks to be executed one time only, look into `at` instead.
Kind regards,
Steve
