Hi,

I use RHEL4 on a DELL PowerEdge server, and I want to have a cron job run at 8:30 AM every other Monday.  I think this might be the right syntax:

30 8 */14 * mon command

What I'm not sure of is if this means the Monday has to fall on the 14th of the month, or if it means every 14 days?

Thank you,
Brandon Coale
