Cron useage question

[Gene Heskett <gene.heskett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings;

I have need to add a "monthly event" to my root crontab. I know that 
the first two place holders (the '*'s) in the timeline are hours and 
minutes, but the manpages contain no hints as to what the next three 
'*'s represent.  I would think that after 11 years, that lack of info 
and the resultant questions would have managed to get the manpages 
rewritten to include that info.

Anyway, can anyone enlighten me on this please?

-- 
Cheers, Gene
