query regarding the crontab command

Expand Post »

Hi,

Yesterday a friend of mine asked me about the use of $ at the end of the crontab command. His query is something like this.

15 3 * * * command $

Can someone please help me with the use of $ at the end of this crontab command because i was not able to find the answer to his query.

Thanks,
Amit

Re: query regarding the crontab command

finally i got hold of a unix box (am not working on unix these days) and now am pretty sure that there is something wrong in his query.

I have asked for his crontab file to check for the crontab command.

My thanks to all of you who have taken the pain of going this thread.

Will surely update this thread once i go through his crontab file and find something.

Thanks,
Amit
