Crontab - .call file from asterisk for everyday?

hello all

can anyone explain how i can use the call file i have set up within asterisk to be used multiple times during the day ever day monday - friday

basically i need the file to be used @ 10:00, 10:15 an 11:00 monday to friday

does this look correct to run every 10 mins?

0,5,10 * * * *cp /var/spool/asterisk/alarm.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/alarm.call

is this possible?

thanks

You would need 2 cron lines for this because you want 10:00, 10:15 and 11:00 but not 11:15

00 10,11 * * 1,2,3,4,5 cp /var/spool/asterisk/alarm.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/alarm.call
15 10 * * 1,2,3,4,5 cp /var/spool/asterisk/alarm.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/alarm.call

The first line would get you 10:00 and 11:00 on monday-friday (days 1-5)
The 2nd line would get you 10:15 on monday-friday (days 1-5)

Snippet from cron manual:

---
The time and date fields are:

field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
---

Every 10 minutes on monday-friday would look like this:

00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * 1,2,3,4,5 ...
