Hi,

probably I have made a knot into my brain...

What I want is, that fcron executes a script every 14 days. It does
not matter, when to execute the script, since I cannot guarantee that
my PC is running exactly at that time.

I tried

&b(1),mailto(root) * * */14 * * /home/user/bin/script.sh

Which "works" according to this: On the 28.th the script was
executed every miinute...

But: If I specivy anything for the minute/hour field, it means:
Do execute the script exeactly THEN. And this in turn I dont want.

Which places my thoughts again right at the beginning of the cyclus...

I am makeing definetly something very wrong here...but I the logic
seems to prevent me to do the rigth ting...

Or I am currently struck with blindness??

Any help will be very appreciated!
;)

Best regards,
Meino
