    Dear balaji,

    Work accordingly with the examples shown below.

    -================================================
    Crontab file
    ___________
    syntax :-
    A crontab file has five fields for specifying day , date and time
    followed by the command to be run at that interval.

    * * * * * command to be executed
    - - - - -
    | | | | |
    | | | | +----- day of week (1 - 7) (monday = 1)
    | | | +------- month (1 - 12)
    | | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
