    Dear all,
    I believe that you have a small mistake in the weekday field...

    check in your operating system by running "man crontab" .

    If you are running HP UX or solaris, or linux... it should be like these

               minute The minute of the hour, 0-59
               hour The hour of the day, 0-23
               monthday The day of the month, 1-31
               month The month of the year, 1-12

    >>>>>> weekday The day of the week, 0-6, 0=Sunday <<<<<<<<<<<

    The other entries are correct.

    Regarding to your example, Balaji,
    > > Schedule: 7th of every month, at 8pm - script test.sh
    > > 00 20 7 * * /usr/local/bin/test.sh

    It is correctly set to run on the sevent day of every month

    Regards
