crontab for FreeBSD

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

I believe that it should be in the following format...
#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command

For example to run mrtg every 5 minutes you would use the following line
*/5     *       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/bin/mrtg
/home/user1/mrtg.cfg
