Hi running aix 6.1

I need to confirm that this cron entry is set properly.
I need it set for every 5 min.
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /path/to/script.sh
it does not appear that it is running every 5 min but it did in the beginning.
Yes, it is set correctly.
Column info:
1 = min
2 = hour
3 = day of the month
4 = month
5 = weekday (Sun=0)

Hi ,
Instead of mentioning 0,5,10,.. make it as read by
*/5 * * * * /path/to/script.sh
Try this this will be running every five minutes once
Ahem...
This is the AIX forum! What you have suggested works on Linux (more precisely it works with the widely-used Vixie-cron), but not the AIX cron.
From the crontab man page
