Let's assume that I want to run a shell script named
test.sh
at 1 AM every day. I could either use:
0 1 * * * /home/user/test.sh
Or I could use:
0 01 * * * /home/user/test.sh
For the above example, which is technically the correct answer - should a leading 0
be used in the shedule, or should just the number of the hour be entered?
