- Thanks to all of you who sent me information on their crontab format and in
- specific, what number the day of the week Sunday was. The results were that
- an overwhelming number used 0 as Sunday although about 50% explicitly men-
- tioned that for compatibility Sunday could also be specified as 7. The
- bottom line determination seemed to be that if the crontab was based on
- AT&T version 7 or later will specify Sunday as 0 and before that Sunday is 7.
- If the crontab is BSD(4.3) based, Sunday is 7.
