Hi all I want to make sure I was understanding this correctly
if a cron job command was
* */20 * * * command
does that mean this command will run every 20 hours?
also what is the difference between the following two?
0,20,40 * * * * command
20 * * * * command
I believe the first one runs the command at 0, 20 and 40 minutes while the other runs every 20 minutes. . but I am not sure. Thanks:b:

First cron: Hourly except at 20:00 . What did you intend? I'm assuming that this certain editions of Linux because the syntax is invalid in unix.
Second cron: every 20 mins (On the hour; twenty minutes past the hour; and forty minutes past the hour).
Third cron: At 20 minutes past every hour.
