crontab typo in the Backups / Shell Sctipts / Executing the Script / Executing with cron section

[Csipak Attila]

Location: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/backup-shellscripts.html#backup-executing-shellscript

"Add the following entry to the crontab file:

# m h dom mon dow command
0 0 * * * bash /usr/local/bin/backup.sh

The backup.sh script will now be executed every day at 12:00 am."

I'm really no cron expert, but that crontab line translates to me as "every day at 0:00 am".

Hi, Csipak,

Thanks for reporting this. I fed the sample crontab entry into CronChecker and see that the example would indeed execute every day at 12:00 am:

I'm marking this bug as invalid.
