* an '''asterisk''' ('''*''') stands for every possible value of the relevant time unit. For example, if placed in the hour section, it indicates that an action should be taken every hour

* an '''asterisk''' ('''*''') stands for every possible value of the relevant time unit. For example, if placed in the hour section, it would indicate that an action should be taken every hour
 
* a '''number''' indicates the exact time at which an action should occur. For example, if the number 5 was placed in the minute section, the specified action would be taken at the fifth minute of every hour  
 
* a '''number''' indicates the exact time at which an action should occur. For example, if the number 5 was placed in the minute section, the specified action would be taken at the fifth minute of every hour  
 
* numbers separated by '''commas''' (''',''') indicate multiple specific time stamps at which an action should occur. For example, if the numbers 6,9,10 were placed in the hour section, the specified action would be taken at 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM and 10 AM every day

* the '''day of week''' segment functions a bit differently than the others:
 
** 0 indicates Sunday and 1-6 indicate Monday through Saturday
 
** 0 indicates Sunday and 1-6 indicate Monday through Saturday
** since weekdays shift throughout the year (i.e., they are not dependent on specific days of a month)
+
** since weekdays shift throughout the year, i.e., they are not dependent on specific days of a month, so when they are used with crontab in conjunction, the action will be executed when the current time matches the value in either field. For instance, ''5 5 5 * 5'' would cause the specified command to be executed at 5:05 AM every fifth day of every month plus every Friday
