Cron Confusion.. Continued... *ugh*

[Matt.A.Cleveland at healthnet.com]

I use several crons successfully.  Here is an example.

                   cron "0 15 * * 1-4" {
                       func: override
                       text: System is normally down on evenings and
weekends - we only check this service during core business hours of 9:00 to
3:00 Monday through Friday.  The current override is for overnight.
                       mode: manual
                       expires: 64800
                       quiet: no
                   }
                   cron "0 15 * * 5" {
                       func: override
                       text: System is normally down on evenings and
weekends - we only check this service during core business hours of 9:00 to
3:00 Monday through Friday.  The current override is for the weekend.
                       mode: manual
                       expires: 237600
                       quiet: no
                   }

Hi all,

I haven't seen a response to the below message, so I'm re-posting it.
Does anyone know the answer to this?  Is anyone using the cron feature?

Thanks!
